EXPERIENCE
37 YEARS PRACTICING ARCHITECTURE

HISTORY
I literally grew up in Architecture. My father was an Architect. When I was young we would spend the weekends visiting his projects while they were under construction.
I received a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Oregon. After graduation I worked for firms in Breckenridge Colorado, Seattle Washington, then returned to Denver, Colorado where I became a partner in an Architectural firm. After practicing architecture in Denver, Colorado for 8 years, I relocated to Bend in 2000 and then in 2004 cofounded GGL Architecture. In 2010 GGL merged with BLRB Architects . In 2018, I am starting a new chapter in my career.

PROJECT TYPES
In my 35 years of practice, I like to tell potential clients that I have designed a goat barn with a milking parlor and cheese cellar for an artisan cheese maker, a 7 story, 5 star Hotel, and everything in between. I like to think of myself as a good listener, and now know more about goats than I would have ever imagined. I have teamed with dedicated developers to create over 300 affordable housing units in Central Oregon, some are the most energy efficient multifamily developments in the state.
