I graduated from the University of Washington in 2007 with a degree in Construction Management and Architectural Studies.  After graduation, I quickly started working in the management side of the construction business.  Although it was a good job, I knew I needed something else which would allow me to be creative and work with my hands.  Being in the construction business I had heard about concrete being used as an architectural element, not just a structural one.  After doing some research, I decided to take a class at Cheng Concrete in Berkley, CA.  Since then, I have been fascinated with all that is possible with concrete.

In addition to designing and building architectural concrete, I work as a carpenter for a remodel company called S2 Builders.  Similar to architectural concrete, remodel carpentry provides an opportunity to be creative, problem solve and be part of a team.
