As a senior architect and project manager with Desmone Architects, I’m responsible for design, technical coordination, construction administration and developing and maintaining client relationships.  I’ve worked within the profession with 20 years of experience and hold an architectural license in the State of Pennsylvania.  When asked what I like most about being an architect, I particularly enjoy the innate progress of the design process… from virtual to tangible, seeing a project move from drawings and details ‘on paper’ to real life is especially fulfilling.

Active in several organizations, I maintain a strong interest in environmentally-conscious design, the well-being of the community, and mentoring younger people of color. Along with my position as president of the Pittsburgh Chapter of NOMA, I’ve been involved with Habitat for Humanity as a member of their Sustainable Building Committee, I’m a former board member of the Wilkinsburg Community Development Corporation, and I’m a long-time practitioner and teacher of martial arts.  I’m a native of Maryland, but have lived in Pittsburgh for almost 15 years, and I currently live in Wilkinsburg with my wife and two daughters.
