Biography & Resume
Resume will be updated… eventually.
In 2004 I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. I am currently located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I am employed at Architectural Research Consultants, Incorporated, a programming and planning firm. In October of 2009 I will be graduating with my MBA from the University of New Mexico’s Anderson School of Business Management
My interests in architecture include sustainability, urban design, phenomenology, and programming. The pursuit of understanding how the human brain perceives space – environmental psychology – fascinates me more than any other aspect of architecture.
Outside of architecture, I have plenty to keep me busy, and Albuquerque is quite conducive to a number of hobbies.
I came out West with the intention of leaving the automobile-dependent Midwest behind me. While Albuquerque ranks among the top ten US cities for suburban sprawl, it is also among the top three bike-friendly cities its size. I bought a bicycle my first week out here, and immediately fell in love; I spent two months in town before having to buy a tank of gas. In September of 2005, I became active with the bicycle advocacy organization BikeABQ. I served as president for a year and a half, and am currently serving as vice president.
I enjoy cooking, and take pride in whipping up a gourmet meal for a friend. Family-owned and organic grocery stores abound here, and stock on their shelves some of the finest seasonal produce from nearby farms, so I’m never at a loss for quality ingredients. Naturaly, the best part about cooking is devouring the wonderful creations!
The natural beauty that surrounds the city – and the colorful day-to-day activities within it – supplies my camera with a kaleidoscope of subjects. Visit my Gallery page to see some of my photographs.
