Q: What attracted you to the industry?

A: The ability to create a positive environment for people to live, work and play. The opportunity to have an impact on the lives of people and the community as a whole.

 

Q: How has the industry changed since you started?

A: Technology has changed virtually all aspects of how we live and work. Architects used to draw buildings, but now we build them virtually. The second major change is just happening and that is the change in our social patterns. That will have an extremely profound effect on everything we do.

 

Q: What professional achievement gives you the most pride?

A: Being recognized by my peers in being elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects and growing a very successful company for 40 years before retiring from it were major. However, now I would have to say that starting a new firm focused on creating ideas for our changing world is the most exciting thing I have done.
