After architectural studies in Oregon and California, my first employment was with Raphael Soriano FAIA in San Francisco.  Among architectural firms that followed were Davis, Brody & Associates in New York City for 5 years and ZGF Partnership in Portland, Oregon for 23 years until my retirement in 2011.  Between work with these two offices my wife Anna and I had a consulting business for 10 years in Rio de Janeiro where we specialized in architectural design and renderings for a wide variety of clientele including Roberto Burle Marx, landscape architect and painter, and Citibank Corporation.  We currently reside in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy traveling to Europe each year.
