I have been an active member of the American Institute of Architects for the last 40 years. This started in Baltimore, where I began my professional career.  I then moved on to Dallas and finally Los Angeles.  During this entire time, my commitment to the AIA has been unwavering.

My experience includes employment in large and small firms alike.  As Vice Chairman of RTKL Associates, I was fortunate to be involved in projects all over the country as well as all over the world.  This has allowed me the opportunity to associate with many different architects across the globe.  My unique experience, has given me a clear understanding of what our membership wants and needs, regardless of the size of their firm or the part of the country they are from. 

As a member of the Board of Directors and the Board Advocacy Committee for the last two years, I have been part of, what I believe is, a rebirth for the AIA.  The excitement and energy that is present today far exceeds any in recent history.  Our new Strategic Plan is reflective of that energy in its prioritizing, expansion, and goal setting for AIA programs.  These programs are well underway in advancing our Advocacy, Knowledge, and Community Agendas.

I am committed to expanding the AIA’s support of our membership and furthering our influence in society.  I need your vote for Vice President so that we can advance and serve the needs of our profession together. 

For those of you who would like to know more about my professional career I invite you to take a moment and look at my resume.
