I am a graduate of the School of Architecture and Design in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech on a journey to find my place in the architecture and design world.I have a passion for design – from concept to reality -- and am especially interested in graphics, modeling and working with my hands and continually learning about the digital world. Post-graduate studies have included courses on photography and Revit workshops, in an effort to continuously expand my skillset. Aside from my design background, I have over nine years of experience in the world of management. From recreation to retail to restaurants, I have held various positions ranging from director of events and marketing to lead sales consultant. These leadership positions have given me the opportunity to sharpen my communication skills, further enhance my management skills, and have provided me with an outlet to continually be creative, be it designing wedding venues and event spaces or store displays and product placement.I have lived in Switzerland and have traveled much of Western Europe. I am completely in love with seeing the world and try to travel as much as possible. I am a city to shore kind of guy – the fast pace nature of city life enthralls me, and I find comfort in the Atlantic and in the sand between my toes.In addition to my love of design, I enjoy good food, good wine, photography and tweeting the various happenings of my life.
