I grew up in Paris, Texas, though I’m still not sure I’ve fully grown up yet. I started off wanting to work with computers, then studied engineering and earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. After working a few years thinking I’d become an actuary, I realized it wasn’t for me and went back to school for a master’s degree. A visit to Texas A&M’s Architecture department led me here, and it’s been a fulfilling journey ever since. I love the technical side of architecture—making things work and seeing designs come to life. Watching a vacant piece of land transform into a functioning building is endlessly satisfying.
Outside of work, I’m all about adventure. I’ve been riding motorcycles for nine years, covering 18 states on long-distance trips. I also enjoy hiking, crossword puzzles, and number games.
Favorite movie?
I hate to be too cliché, but since I grew up with Star Wars movies, those movies always hold a special place for me. Then the Marvel movies came along and I really enjoyed most of those. I love Tim Burton’s Big Fish, but also Quick Change with Bill Murray, and Maverick with Mel Gibson.
