He is known for his Hamilton Manufacturing Facility building and the Fleishmann Planetarium at University of Nevada, Reno. In 1995 he also won the AIA Nevada Silver Medal.

Growing up in this region has also encouraged me to protect these natural environments in which I spend so much time. This has led me to become interested in sustainable practices such as permaculture, off-grid living, alternative materials, and a minimal lifestyle, and I try to incorporate these practices both into my architectural designs and my own life. Beyond architecture, my design interests also include graphic and furniture design. After studying for nine months in Copenhagen, Denmark during this past year, I have developed a love and appreciation for the minimalism and functionalism seen in Scandinavian design and I am hoping to incorporate these qualities into my own designs. When not in school or working, I can typically be found outside doing a variety of activities including backpacking, skiing, mountain biking, and rock climbing. I use these experiences to draw inspiration for the designs I create for everything from architecture to furniture to graphic design. 2018 SCHOLARSHIP
