I am an Architectural Technical Service Manager for the Building Systems group and have been with ms for 18 months. I work with a very talented team of architects everyday on a wide variety of projects. My passion is providing innovative solutions to challenging problems and the projects here give me the opportunity to push boundaries and be creative.

I moved to Columbus 16 years ago to pursue my Masters in Architecture at The Ohio State University, and currently live in Dublin with my wife and 7-year-old son.
