I was raised in a small town north of Pittsburgh, PA.  I attended Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1980's for architecture and began my path in the design and construction field.  During my breaks while attending school, I worked in New Hampshire doing construction and for architects in California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  After receiving my architectural degree from Carnegie Mellon University, I continued to design and in 2000 started my own construction company where I was able to turn my own designs into reality.  I have designed pool houses, integrated additions, restaurants, large country estates, and everything in between.
