CURRENT MISSION

To teach. And to learn. And to share.

ABOUT ME

I am both an architect and a professor of architecture. I spend most of my days endeavoring to teach my students a little something about design, but I often think they teach me more than I do them. And for that, I am grateful. Although I am a midwesterner at heart, I currently reside in lovely Cambridge, MA.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short not to capitalize on all potential funness.

I've been most fortunate to have been hosted by some fabulous hosts in cities around the US. My travels have been enriched by these new friendships!

Meeting the people who call the place I'm visiting "home" is such a joy, and I am thankful for the stories, insight and recommendations given along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

travelling to the depths of death valley may top the list of most uncomfortable/most amazing experiences. actually, camping on the beach at the pacific ocean most definitely tops that.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing is more attractive than an open soul. I enjoy learning. Anything. Everything. I like to think I know a thing or two about buildings. I love to discuss food, design, art.
