KPFF’s Denver office hired me to replace a drafter shortly after he left.

The Denver office only had an intern to do the drafting at a time that was critical in the final design phases of the One Lincoln Park Center at 20th Street and Welton along with several other projects. I picked up the project from there and saw it through to its completion. Work in the KPFF Denver office gave me an opportunity to work on high rises, medical office buildings, and a variety of other commercial projects being built around the country. Virtually all drafting came through me because I was the drafting department. No other drafters were hired in the time of my service there but whenever we did need additional drafting help, we outsourced some work to contract workers. It was my responsibility to coordinate, set deadlines, and provide the CAD files and drafting standards to anyone who worked on our projects on a temporary basis. Notable projects include: The One Lincoln Park building, The Ronald McDonald House in Aurora, Colorado, the Renaissance Hotel at Fiddlers in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and Argonaut Liquors at Colfax and Clarkson in Denver, Colorado.
