Credentials

 

 

       LEED AP

       May 2007 to Present:  DeWolff Partnership Architects (Cleveland), a smaller satellite branch office that specializes in Healthcare, working on Construction Documents for Metro Health, Summa, Nationwide Children’s (Columbus), and Hillcrest Hospitals, the Diocese of Cleveland, as well as a couple RTA stations.

       Designed and built my parent’s sun porch and deck.

       Installed and operated a small network (and this was before wireless), built several machines from scratch, Implemented VoiP inside the house.

       Studied, researched, designed, illustrated, and understand in depth the concrete realities and the abstract notions of the Architectural, artistic, and otherwise living breathing world.

       I am a digital creation fanatic.  I have built websites and drawn vector based floor plans, composed exciting architectural visualizations, developed tools and written code to increase my production, consistency, and efficiency.  I’ve worked with real time gaming environments, and have come to appreciate the beauty of high efficiency techniques, meshes, models, and materials.  I am currently learning flash animation technologies for implementation as an introductory sequence to my portfolio website.

       Helped build homes and hope with Habitat for Humanity, CSA, the Newman center.

 

Throughout my life, I have demonstrated a commitment to education and a never ending desire to better myself and the world around me.  I am quick to learn and can adapt to new challenges.  My ability to reason and formulate the right questions, however, is what makes me unique.  I love people, enjoy teaching and being taught, and my commitment to learning leads me to better ways of doing the everyday.
