Experience

Began building in 1992

Undergraduate degree in architecture UC Berkeley BS Architecture 1996

While at Berkeley organized and ran a class in design and construction on a project in Marin County.

Studied with world- famous architect and author Christopher Alexander. After graduation served as contractor/construction crew manager on residential project for Christopher Alexander.

Went out on my own, first project I did was a garage in Berkeley CA, which won an unsolicited award from the Berkeley Historical commission given to buildings which blend or complement the established environment.

Since then have done a multitude of large-scale residential renovations and additions, as well as designing and building a couple of very popular local Mexican restaurants.

Experienced in specialty concrete work from countertops, fireplaces, floors, terraces, terrazzo, acid staining etc.

Currently building and always refining my dream project.
