ABOUT ME: I graduated with a 5-year Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Colorado (Boulder) in 1974 – worked as a framing carpenter in North Dakota for a year – moved to Houston and worked as a free-lance designer/draftsman/bank inspector for a couple of years – went out of business in 1980 and moved to Virginia, where I worked as a Project/Construction Manager for a large commercial contractor/developer (Turner Construction) and as a Project/Contracts Manager for a regional production builder (Capital Homes/Beazer).

I went back into business for myself as a residential designer in 1988. The first fifteen years of that business focused on designing spec houses for large production builders – the last twenty or so years, I have specialized in custom homes and site-specific infill projects for small homebuilders.  During the recession, I worked as an ‘Owner’s Rep’ on some remodeling projects.

I am currently ‘semi-retired’, living in a little house on a lake, and trying to focus on interesting and fun projects.
