I grew up at the edge.

Not just the edge of town—though that’s where we lived—but at the edges between things. Where pavement turned to field. Where the built world gave way to sagebrush, hills, and sand. Where things ended, or began, or both.

These in-between places were where I spent most of my time.

For me, exploration is a way of knowing the world. As a child, I wandered unfenced construction sites like they were part ruin, part future. I was learning the language of architecture and construction. Boundaries and edges were never short of things to discover.

Exploration at the boundary eventually led me to college, foreign study in Rome, and then back to the construction site—building luxury homes as an entry-level laborer.

Years later, at MIT, I returned to the edge—this time between perception and design. I built-large scale physical models with real construction materials and computational models to simulate light and perspective. Upon graduation, I co-founded Visarc to bring simulation to design professionals and building owners.

Eventually, I missed building with atoms and the physical world, so I returned to Krekow Jennings—this time to lead.

I have held many roles at KJ: Project Engineer, Service Manager, Project Manager, Operations Manager and Principal. Now in my third decade with the company, I guide teams that deliver some of the most complex custom residences on the planet. These projects don’t merely require precision; they demand invention under pressure: novel assemblies, challenging sites, hair-width tolerances, creative sequencing, and other opportunities that no playbook covers. In true fashion, without a playbook on the edge of invention, we write our own.

I still picture that boy roaming through construction sites after school. The curiosity remains. Back then I stood at the edge of understanding; now I work at the edge of what’s possible—where vision dances with gravity and becomes somewhere you can live.

That’s the boundary I’ve always traveled—and the boundary I help our clients cross.
