WHY DID YOU JOIN AIA SEATTLE?

I joined AIA for the community and the opportunity to hear about what other people in the industry are up to and to learn and share what we are doing and have learned.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF AIA TO YOU?

AIA is an organization where we can come together to share across business verticals. Innovations in one vertical can sometimes be applied to other verticals, which makes all of us better.

WHAT RELATIONSHIPS HAVE YOU CREATED?

AIA has been a great place to see old friends and colleagues, as well as meet like-minded people who are passionate about improving the world through buildings.

WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU WORKING ON NOW?

I mostly work in the Healthcare buildings market for many large hospitals in the Puget Sound Region. Right now, I am helping an Owner keep their 24/7 facility operational while we upgrade their main utility power into their campus.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TODAY?

My team. The 10+ team members in our firm inspire me to be a better leader and engineer every day so we can learn and grow together.

CAN DESIGN SAVE THE WORLD?

Yes, but not alone. Design, in conjunction with good execution and implementation, and a will to fund it, is how we get there.
