I write about architecture and construction in the United States. I focus on how buildings move from idea to site and into daily use. My work covers codes, materials, costs, and field practice. I studied architecture and engineering and spent years on job sites. Those projects shaped my view of design and building work. Research supports every article I publish. I explain methods, risks, and decisions in clear terms. The goal stays practical. I help readers plan, build, and maintain better spaces. I studied architecture at the University of Oregon and completed a degree in architectural studies. I later earned a construction management certificate through a professional program focused on building systems and project control. Years on active job sites followed. I worked across residential, commercial, and mixed use projects. My background includes housing, offices, renovations, and adaptive reuse. I spent years reviewing field changes and closeout data. I hold strong experience with as-built drawings and BIM workflows. I worked with models, clash checks, and coordinated sets. Field data, revisions, and record accuracy guide my approach.
