Bio
Jim Chaddick
It was indeed a pleasure to teach Justin in our Senior Landscape Architecture Rural Design and Small Community outreach studio at UNLV. He was attentive to his research and analysis, an effective hard worker and self starter, willing to take up any design challenge, and was able to take instruction very well, especially when it came to revising his designs to achieve the best refinements for our clients at the Town of Beatty. I recommend him without reservation for such design and planning work in the field of Landscape Architecture .
