Favorite Project & Why
Taschenberg Palais in Dresden. I had the wonderful opportunity to compile reconstruction drawings for this historic building that had an interesting history but had been nearly destroyed in the Dresden fire bombings. The building has since been rebuilt although it took over 20 years to fund and construct the project. The building is now a 5-star hotel directly across the street from Dresden’s historic Zwinger.
Favorite Thing About Your Job
Solving complex design puzzles and seeing a project come to fruition.
Favorite Thing to Do
My family purchased a small enclosed cabin boat a short time ago. We’ve lived in Seattle for over 20 years surrounded by water and didn’t have a boat. Now that we do, we’ve been very active on the water. We’ve seen porpoises, bald eagles, seals, and few fish; it’s been a true northwest experience.
