Operative Words
What makes me happy?
“Happiness for me comes from satisfying a balance between learning skills (education), applying skills (work), and sharing my life with a supportive family.”
Education
I went to school at the University of Texas in Austin, and acquired my Bachelor of Architecture degree in 2003. I believe that upon graduation my education only started, as I dove into real world experiences. Each day I continue to expand my knowledge base: in architecture and in life.
Family
My family consists of many members in addition to my lovely wife and new daughter and many close friends. Despite any economic downturns, I only need know that I have that support of that family network around me, to maintain happiness and satisfaction.
Work
After graduating in 2003, I moved to Seattle to work for a family run residential architecture firm. My efforts were to get experience in all aspects of the operation of the company, in an attempt to better serve our mutual interests. It is a creative outlet in addition to a career.
