In 1995, I received an Architectural Degree while studying under (and working for) two great Architects in the Denver, Colorado area. After graduation I moved back to NE Iowa where I realized that small town living in the Midwest is where I want to raise my family. In 1996 I started helping homeowners and home builders in Residential Design and Construction and quickly became addicted. I enjoy educating homeowners on the incredible amount of choices that are available when building a new home or addition and discussing which options, construction techniques, and materials would be best for each situation. I also promote a whole-house systems approach to energy efficiency and have seen first-hand how a properly built home makes a difference in performance, energy efficiency and health benefits to the occupants. After Designing over 800 new homes and over 800 home additions I feel I'm very fortunate to be doing what I love.



I feel attending workshops and seminars regarding Building Science for our climate zone and Residential Design trends is critical and am always on the hunt for courses sponsored by EEBA, NAHB, BPI, PHIUS, and JLC
