David Gilmore Email & Phone Number

Part of Dave’s success comes from his openness – his desire – to “not let a good idea go untested.” Such a diverse staff of engineers and architects produces thousands of ideas, and Dave doesn’t want to lose one of them."The collaborative process is something I think about daily."Dave has also come to a place in his career where he celebrates the success of those he works with. “I have learned it is much more rewarding to see a team or an individual succeed. I have grown to see the importance of seeing others excel.”A practicing architect for more than 30 years, Dave has no plans to slow down. He wants to see LPA go nationwide, even worldwide. “That is my vision,” he stated. “We are creating something innovative that obviously resonates with our clients. We want to share it with others and have an influence on design; be able to design in a more meaningful way with our clients.”

And LPA does – its staff includes architects and planners; landscape designers and landscape architects; interior designers, lighting designers, and graphic designers; and structural, plumbing,mechanical, electrical and civil engineers.A Managing Principal at LPA, Dave leads the efforts of the San Diego office. “I came to work for LPA in August 1980, and I’ve been here ever since," he continues.
