AIA, LEED, AP | Healthcare and Higher EducationI graduated from UW Madison w/ pre-law degree & was taking a year off studying for the LSAT for law school. One day, while driving through Shorewood, I decided on a whim to check out the architecture school at UW Milwaukee & ask a counselor what I would need to do to apply for architecture school. She gave me a list of classes I would need to take in order to apply the following year – one of which was an architectural history class. I loved the class & was hooked.
I was asked to come on as a project manager to assist with the creation of the new Higher Ed team. After meeting with several PRA representatives, I was impressed with the vision & culture & the opportunity to take on a new role with new challenges.
Fun Fact:
I’m a single dad raising 3 daughters who have assured me there is nothing cool about me – other than my juvenile attempts to embarrass them. Hobby-wise, I play a lot of tennis, like to travel & consider myself an amateur foodie. I do have a Ducati Scrambler that’s been sitting in my virtual shopping cart for several years as I wait for my youngest daughter to finish school.
