At a very young age, He fell in love with the tectonics of fabrication. The process of designing, drawing, and making, always seem to outweigh the final product. There were always questions for me. What could be improved upon? What could be done differently next time? Taking the time to understand the tectonics of each project leads to better: design, value engineering, quicker fabrication, compressed CPM's, on time deliveries and the attention to detail so work can be excited with a high precision. This is what always drove me to push the envelope throughout my career, whether it was commercial framing, a student of architecture, a designer, a project manager, an engineer manager, and leader in the stair industry.
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”
Steve Jobs
While studying at The Ohio State University and Georgia Tech, He received his degree in Architecture. He focus and specialty during this period, was technology, fabrication and model making. He worked in both facilities fabrication labs, where my passion for tectonics grew. He became less interested in the envelope of architecture and more focused on the technology (advances in BIM, CNC machines and laser measuring) that could push not only the envelope of design and components but the precision of fabrication.
In 2011 thru 2018, He turned my attention to stairs, where He worked with Southern Staircase on an arrangement of projects: residential and commercial, large and small, locally, nationally, internationally. Custom stairs became the perfect outlet for my obsession with tectonics. They were always changing; every project brought its own little challenge. It was the one element that always becomes the show piece of the building or home. Stairs are like a fine piece of furnisher and taking the time to understand the tectonics behind them allows for a final product not only He can be proud of, but his clients as well. During my tenure with Southern Staircase, He performed work on every level, from meeting with clients, working through design intent, field surveys, laser surveys, programming CNC’s, construction documents, permitting, project management, fabrication and installation.
