Q: Tell us something surprising about you.

A: “Until my early twenties I stuttered so bad I couldn't say my name. I got fed up one day and enrolled in an experimental program where they slowed my voice down using headphones connected to a device. Obviously it worked. I had figured I was doomed to a job where I would not have any customer interaction. This changed my life. Of course, now you can't get me to stop talking!”

Q: What is the most exciting thing about your job?

A: “Every client I have is different in their approaches to design and construction. Understanding their internal processes and finding ways to improve their bottom line is so rewarding.”
