I grew up in suburban Chicago, studied in central Illinois and migrated to suburban central New Jersey, where I completed a masters in architecture. I now reside in my first urban environment, working as designer/project manager at Guy Nordenson & Associates, a structural engineering office. I hope not to remain in the building profession as long as I did suburbia, and have enthusiasm for filmmaking, media arts, and other breeds of spatial practice and contemporary art. Redeemer Presbyterian Church is my home community and a major impetus for my moving to and being a part of New York City.
