I have been in the residential housing industry for more than 25 years designing homes for local builders big and small, renovators, and private clients. I was the Design Manager for Albi Homes for five years and Westglen Homes for three years. My position in the companies involved the completion of designing homes to permit drawings. Estimating, office liaison between client, salesperson, and city interactions. While at these companies many of the designs were awarded SAM Awards for best design in class. I have had my own home based company for going on 25 years and have designed more than 3000 homes in the Calgary area. Designs ranged from small renovations to large 6500 sq. ft. Acreage homes. I have contracted six of my own homes and actually done framing, finish carpentry, tiling, drywall and painting. My experience in the industry has not waned and look forward to many years to come in this industry that I love.
