about.
After working for various architecture firms in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I started my own architecture practice in 2006. I enjoy a challenge and love working with clients to solve difficult problems that enhance their day to day experience.
I have extensive experience working with existing and historic structures, and also enjoy working on new construction projects. I work primarily with residential clients but have enjoyed the commercial clients I have worked with repeatedly over the years.
I graduated from Roger Williams University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Architecture degree as a member of the Honors program. While in school I was a member of Tau Sigma Delta, the national honor society of architecture and allied arts, and awarded the Alpha Rho Chi medal which "is presented to the graduating senior who has shown an ability for leadership, performed willing service for his school or department, and gives promise of real professional merit."
Since 2008, I have been adjunct faculty at Roger Williams University teaching design studios to undergraduate students. I have also had the opportunity to attend reviews at Northeastern, RISD and University of Maine.
I currently hold registrations in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts and am a LEED accredited professional and an NCARB certificate holder.
