  As past Chief Operating Officer and Principal at Cooper Carry, I bring 45 years of experience as an architect, manager, and team administrator. At Cooper Carry, I was responsible for the operational aspects of the Firm including continuing education, project delivery and technical services, quality management, human resources, information services, accounting, administration and facilities, and risk management. With the assistance of my leadership, the Firm enhanced its ability to deliver creative project solutions with exceptional professional service. In addition to serving as an Ex-Officio Board Member and Assistant Secretary, I was an active member of its Recruitment, Compensation, Benefits, and CORE (Sustainability) Committees. I was named Chief Operating Officer in 2007 and Principal in 2015. I subscribe to scope, schedule and budget adherence coupled with innovative service delivery excellence. Project quality depends upon Contract Documents that are clear, complete, concise, and correct; compliant, current, coordinated, and consistent. My interests include our family's spirituality and well-being, followed by, in no order; gardening, college football and hoops (OH-IO, HOOT!), walking, camping, and hiking, occasional golf and tennis, water skiing and horseback riding when provided the means/opportunity. I also enjoy music, especially any type of rock or blues, live and up-close; history, touring/traveling and being in and around old towns, cities and art and architecture, cool interiors, and voluminous landscapes. I'm blessed with a terrific and talented wife, Betsy; three great kids; Louie and Gabe, 31-year-old twins and their 30-year-old sister, Catie; a fabulous daughter-in-law, Mary Beth (Louie) and their beautiful daughter, Catherine. Our Pekingese mix, Prince, and his Maltese brother, Mies, keep us happy at home.
