“It’s such a complex process to design and construct a building, just as in an endurance race. You need to break down the process into smaller tasks, and approach each task with preparation and positivity to successfully finish.”

John spent three years as a full time, on-site field architect during a large project in Florida. Working with contractors, on a daily basis, gave him sincere respect for the work done by the construction trades, and has helped him understand the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and good communication.
