Architects

Originally licensed in 1993, I have traveled the world researching, planning, designing and constructing facilities that meet the needs of owners, developers and users.

 

A graduate of Texas Tech University School of Architecture in 1984, I have spent my career being personally involved in many successful design and construction projects.

Completed two hotel conversion/renovations in Arkansas

 

Provided design and project management services for various Federal Express (FedEx) projects.

While deployed to Afghanistan for five years during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), I provided project design and construction management services for multiple projects totalling over 500 million USD. Including master planning, compound and facility designs for the Government of Afghanistan, US Department of State, US Department of Defense, International Committee of the Red Cross, International Security Forces - Afghanistan, European Union, Governments of Italy, Holland, Australia and Hungary.

Over the past 34 years, while serving in key positions. I have had the opportunity to work on a portfolio of highly specialized facilities, systems and infrastructure consistent with demanding and discerning customers here in the United States as well as overseas. Such a varied background and experience in progressively more difficult design and construction issues has prepared me for the full spectrum of challenges that often occur during any project. Leading teams of highly specialized creative individuals to avoid typical problems and pitfalls to successfully complete multi-faceted tasks is my primary specialty.
