Brief Autobiography
As far back as I can remember, my life has been inundated with the process of design and construction. I spent a good amount of my childhood on the construction sites of my father's home building business. As I grew older, the will to design was always present. At age twelve I started construction on a scale model of a wooden roller coaster made from toothpicks. In what can only be described as a tangent running wild, the model roller coaster began to incessantly amplify in scale. Three summers, and thousands of toothpicks later, I completed construction on the 6 foot tall structure. The project ignited my excitement for design while the final product showed me the power of patience, hard work, and attention to detail.
In college, I was able to refine my skills through both the Bachelor of Science and the
Master of Architecture programs at Kent State University’s College of
Architecture and Environmental Design. The programs gave me the opportunity to
discover my personal design strengths and identify my points of interest within
the industry. Most recently, I have worked under several accredited design firms which
have provided exposure to industrial,
commercial, and healthcare design.
