My favorite aspect of architecture is delight. We must detail buildings to house us safely and to function brilliantly. These aspects are exciting and challenging by themselves, but so much more powerful when unified by delight. Delight can mean beauty, order, meaning, connection to community or synergy with the natural world…best when it is all of these.  Pursuit of achieving this balance is what drives me. more >

I have had the privilege to focus the majority of my career within the K-12 education market. Being part of the development of modality as a progressive design philosophy as well as helping schools implement the best and most effective pedagogies for their students and teachers is truly gratifying to me. more >

As CFO of the firm I closely monitor all financial aspects of the projects we execute.  Though mundane at times, I really get inspired to help any way I can when I see all our talented people bring such great enthusiasm to their respective work. more >

Every new building needs to be of great value to the client and solve their initial needs and requirements. It also must be pleasing to the beholder and continue to be a source of on-going utility, pride and abiding satisfaction to that owner long into the future. more >

Collaborating with clients is probably the most satisfying aspect of my work at MHTN. I have been given the opportunity to meet and interact with some of the most active, creative, energetic, and dedicated people on the planet. I’ve been able to meet and visit with them across the nation and around the world in order to understand their organization, their campus, and their operations. I’ve been given the chance to listen to these fascinating individuals and learn the unique and varied characteristics of their project needs. more >

My favorite aspect of architecture is witnessing the realization of an innovative idea or concept expressed as a three dimensional environment, one that engages the senses and stimulates the mind. I am inspired by design solutions that are thoughtfully executed, elegantly detailed and exemplify the notion that less is more. more >

The synergy that happens when we truly collaborate with clients and consultants is what I enjoy about architecture the most. I have design ideas, they have design ideas, but when we work together the result is so much better than either of us imagined on our own. more>

Not only do I appreciate working with our great clients, I truly enjoy learning their respective businesses. It allows me the best opportunity to help solve spacial design problems with a clear understanding of what is most important to the client. From a design standpoint, I really enjoy architecture that creates an experience that is carefully crafted while maintaining a focus on the big picture. more >

Architecture is in the end, a way to communicate. It involves the expression of ideas that sometimes have no words but simply express a point of view. It is my hope that every project can reveal the deceptions of first impressions, revealing more and more as time goes by. more >
