why do you enjoy living in Cincinnati, Ohio?
Throughout my adult life, I lived in drastically different communities across the United States. Cincinnati has been a great place for our family. It has all of the amenities of a big city with very livable neighborhoods and suburbs. We love spending our weekends at the Cincinnati Nature Center, biking along the Loveland Bike Trail or playing at Kings Island.
what is your specialty?
I enjoy working with building owners, collaborating on a design that best fits their specific needs. I specialize in healthcare, higher education and community buildings; it’s exciting to work on unique, purpose-built structures that serve a function that will last far longer than my career as an engineer.
