My love for building began as a kid making houses in the sand. I attended secondary school Cranbrook  where I won art awards for wood working and pottery. Although my career after college involved developing and project managing data communications products, I continued to have a dream of studying architecture and after retiring I enrolled in a pre architecture program at College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn where I excelled in model making and hand drawing. As a student at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles, I developed a passion for three architectural design using digital programs such as AutoCAD, Rhino, and Form Z. Recently I have acquired new skills in BIM Business Information Modeling / Revit and Google Sketch Up, employing the latter to create business and residence design projects depicted in this website. Architect Renzo Piano has declared that a building should exist in the head and the heart of the occupant, that a building should inspire and direct as well as protect and reveal. I agree.
