CURRENT MISSION

helping the world hopefully thru the field of architecture while enjoying life and hanging out with cool people in as many cultures as possible

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Its a pretty average Midwestern city but a nice place to live. I went to James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia and got a degree in finance. I competed on the gymnastics team while i was there and had an awesome 4 years. I went back to Ohio and worked for my dad (motorcycle dealer) for a couple years but didn't like retail. Architecture sounded fun so I applied to schools and now I just finished my second year of grad school at University of Cincinnati. So far its been more intense than anything I have ever experienced but I love the challenge... I just wish I were better at it.
