“I get really excited about a project from the start. It’s an amazing process exploring the owner’s needs, the architectural vision and how structural engineering can make it happen. I’m drawn to mixed-use and multifamily projects because they are so much a part of the community. How people use a living space is so interesting. As I lay out the joists or walls, I see someone making dinner or sitting on the couch. No matter how small the details, is my design making it better?

 
"Housing is an efficiency-driven market, and I love the challenge. Collaboration can’t be understated—many minds working toward a goal yields better information. You can check each other and ask risky questions. It takes humility to accept the questions, but in the end, it builds something excellent.”
