Business/Professional
I am
the guy that will be your architect...yes, the guy caught
watching his grandson's antics in the photo above. I conduct my business in a way that
most architects used
to - but now only occasionally fantasize about about. I do not
see what I do so much
as just a business but as more of an enjoyable calling. When we
agree to work together on
your project it will be because I believe in you and what you are
trying to achieve (or it's just so special that I can't help
myself) ...and I never do more than a couple of projects at a
time. This means that I will be the one doing, leading or
directing the project-not some technician in the back room or another
part of the World.
My core team is small, which is what I
prefer; made up as needed from a network of dependable visionaries:
other architects, engineers
and technicians who mostly operate independently as well.
When
asked about "style"...my only response can be: to create projects whose
architectural solutions reflect
whole, symbiotic, reflections of their site and their owners philosophy
as I understand it. If, for
example, "mineshaft modern" or "Tuscan" is the style you just
have-to-build we'll look at it - then see
if we can make it "work" as a good solution for your site.
To give you some idea of what types of
projects I have been involved with over the years I invite you to visit
my projects
page. There you will find some listings and a slice show(still
working on it) that reflect a range of
experience. Give me a call to
chat more about your dreams, plans or visions- l never
charge you for an initial consultation....and I actually take calls
from clients & future clients on
evenings and
weekends without grumbling.
Yesterday
I have been in the
business of building since I was a child -
spending my summers working on my uncles'
construction projects. It was
there that a feeling for the creation of the built environment was
born.
Pursuing this
passion I later earned a Bachelor of Architecture Degree with high
honors from the University of Texas School of Architecture, in Austin
Texas and completed all coursework for the Master of Architecture
program at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Studies there
included traditional and alternative building systems, advanced
architectural design, historic
preservation, land use planning, international practice and project
management
In my early career I spent most of my
time developing plans for
modest single-family homes, and building them. It wasn't
glamorous, but
it gave me a
start, a platform if you will, from which to launch my professional
career.
After completing an
undergraduate education, I had the opportunity to work as an
architect/project manager
for
a variety of architectural firms, an interior design firm, a project
management firm and the City of San Antonio's Engineering Division.
Upon leaving the City
Architect's job an
opportunity to complete a construction project for a
friend led to almost 20 years of working on my own on independent
design/build projects.
I have worked
mostly in Central Texas (San Antonio & the Hill Country) with some
work in the areas around Atlanta,
Austin, Dallas and Houston; as designer, project manager, architect,
senior architect, partner and principal. So...regardless of what 'it' is...If you
need it
done...I can figure out how
to do it...or otherwise get it done.
