Professional Profile
Fourth-generation architect with a background spanning hands-on construction, design-build delivery, structural coordination, and integrated A/E project delivery. My background connects design intent, code analysis, technical documentation, construction, client needs, budgets, schedules, and field execution. That perspective gives me a practical understanding of how projects move from concept through permitting, documentation, and construction.
My experience spans educational, civic, housing, commercial, residential, and renovation projects, including public and institutional work up to 91,000 sf and $40M+ in value. I have led design efforts, managed client and consultant coordination, supported business development, prepared proposals and contracts, coordinated permitting, produced technical documentation, supported construction phase services, and developed templates, BIM standards, internal systems, and AI-assisted workflows to improve project delivery.
I bring a practical leadership mindset focused on design quality, technical execution, constructability, and well-coordinated project outcomes.
