Co-President And Principal Architect
CurrentFounded over 50 years ago, NSPJ has a robust portfolio of residential and commercial projects that can be seen throughout the Kansas City metro and across the country. Our approach to every project is “client first;” we strive to realize the client’s vision in the most functional, timelessly artistic, and value-enhanced manner possible. The firm’s culture of collaboration and approachability continues to make us trusted partners to developers and individuals alike.I co-manage the firm and have served as the lead architect on many of the firm’s projects. I lead an incredibly bright and talented staff whose dedication and excellent problem-solving skills elevate my ability to broaden our portfolio of project types. I currently focus on historic renovations and adaptive reuse, nationwide retail roll-out, multi-unit residential buildings, and single-family residential homes. In every project, I enjoy getting to know the client personally so that both NSPJ and I can best serve their needs. With the numerous projects delivered to date, I continue to build on a wealth of past project experience to anticipate potential problems and address them early in the production process. This includes not only construction issues, but also code-related issues based on my experience working in jurisdictions nationwide.Some of my recent projects include the Power & Light Apartments, Centropolis on Grand, Congress Lofts, and Sky on Main. NSPJ is also the nationwide prototype architect for CenturyLink retail stores, as well as an approved architectural vendor for both Amazing Lash and Massage Heights, with several locations completed to dateI also spearhead firm recruitment and hiring. All candidate resumes are reviewed by me first, and I determine which candidates will advance. I participate in all candidate interviews and, with my co-president, make all hiring decisions.
