Years in A/E/C industry: 3.5

What do you enjoy doing outside of work? I like making big dinners with friends, running, seeing live bands and watching movies.

Any nicknames? My family used to call me Kiwi for a while. I have no idea where that came from.

Hometown? Overland Park, KS

Do you have a little known talent?  I can juggle – which has been my go-to party trick. People eat it up. I have no idea why.

If I could live anywhere, I'd live in: I’ve always loved the Northwest so I’d probably choose Portland or northern California. Beautiful scenery!

If I could do anything, I would: Have more coffee.

A personally rewarding career or professional accomplishment? Anytime you pour hours and hours into a submittal and see it succeed into a great project for the company is always a nice feeling.

Favorite movie or book? Movie: High Fidelity | Book: I love anything by Sarah Vowell

Favorite band or musician? Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings are all pretty good.

Favorite food? I’m a pretty big fan of food in general. There’s not a lot I don’t like. But I do love Indian and Chinese food quite a bit.

A personal motto or motivating quote? “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
