Colleagues describe him as "I want to acknowledge and thank Jack for his assistance on developing the Community Kitchen at Sunnyside Environmental School. As both an architect and parent, Jack provided valuable insight and feedback within our kitchen committee. He reviewed historical plans to identify electrical and water access points, helped plan for best space use within a larger area, planned our flexible kitchen area and helped us consider and plan for ADA needs (which had not even occurred to us before Jack joined the committee). His basic insights on how much space a person needed to comfortably work in a kitchen were very valued. He just looked at things through a different filter than any non-architect would. His contributions helped us with permitting, cost analysis and “legitimacy” as we sought money to fund our vision. Plus he was just amazingly pleasant to work with. He was great at listening to our goals then helping conform them to what was possible within a very limited budget. He made recommendations of other professional who, based on his good reputation, were willing to also donate pro bono services. We are very lucky to have him within the Sunnyside community." and "Jack did an outstanding job in helping us create a spatially balanced and functional design our not-so-easy kitchen that was likely last remodeled in the 50s...in a 1904 house. The work was all encompassing -- from adding support beams in the basement and kitchen area, opening up space between the dining room and kitchen to revamping the powder room and adding on a new deck in the back. I was especially impressed with Jack's ability to listen to our concepts and present workable ideas. We now have a kitchen we are proud of!"
