CONSTRAINTS002It is not the blank canvas that inspires you, nor the blank page or the clean slate of a site. They do not inform, challenge, or compel you to something greater. Some of the most difficult people can prove to become the greatest of friends.

LOCATION003Where you are drastically influences who you are at any given moment. This is a good thing. Furthermore, it is to your advantage to take stock of where you are, where you live, work, and play because that information could prove invaluable in design .

I BELIEVE004It is through a diversity of trades and experiences that I have learned that just perhaps; I am here to help. I believe that people are here for a purpose, and whatever their purpose, I am here to help them pursue their own greatness.

SPACE005This is part of that room. It is open and without preconceptions. Change is inevitable.

Architecture is about people. Ministry is about people. They are both very similar in the fact that they are both services rendered by someone for people whom they either care about or have grown to care about.
