After graduating from Coosa Christian High School in 1994, I spent two years at Gadsden State Community College, where I met my future wife Anglea. I transferred to Auburn University to complete a five-year Bachelors of Architecture degree and promptly went to work for an architecture firm in my hometown after graduating in 2000. I worked at that firm for a little over a decade with a small break to broaden my knowledge by working for a general contractor for two years. In 2010, I opened my own architecture firm and have developed a well respected practice over the past seven years. The following is a listing of Honors, Awards and Community Service.
