    In addition to providing full architectural services, I also have been involved in developing and maintaining technical aspects of our in-house computer systems and CAD software (primarily Bentley Microstation V8i, and limited AutoCAD 2D).I've also been responsible for research and design solutions for building acoustics to enhance live-performance, coordinating with audio/video consultants and instrument designers.I have typically worked solo on all aspects of projects with occasional assistance from other staff members in the single office on projects involving full architectural services, design-build, and limited code-compliance reviews, with outside firms providing engineering services for civil, structural, and MEP/FP.Projects have primarily been of renovation/rehabilitation - addition/remodel scope, with little or no available prior documentation of existing conditions, and requiring forensic investigation and field documentation services.Historic preservation projects have included several National Register of Historic Places application preparations, as well as Certification for Tax Incentives procedures. These were completed with Leslie H. Kenyon as project manager.

    I worked for Mr. Leslie H. Kenyon until his passing, as my first architectural position after graduation from UIUC.My role within Kenyon & Associates evolved to include full architectural project development from concept thru construction, with personal responsibility for design and consultant coordination services on a range of commercial, office, worship, residential, and historic preservation projects.Communication consistency and coordination during all phases of our services between owner/client, consulting engineers, and contractors are keys to a successful project.
