He is involved in analysis, idea generation, conceptual thinking, public outreach, schematic design, design development, construction documents, cost estimation, bidding, and construction phase services. Since receiving his BSLA from Texas A&M University in 1976, he has dedicated himself to conceiving, crafting and constructing designed environments on behalf of clients recognized for simplicity of form and clarity of idea.

He has honed his professional point of view through practice, volunteerism, writing, speaking, and teaching, seeing all as platforms to communicate the value that landscape architects bring in solving contemporary issues of urbanization.
