    What do you like best about being an architect and/or working in this industry?
    Working with designers and helping them develop their ideas into a reality.  Working and developing relationships with clients and contractors.

    What made you want to be an architect when you grew up?
    I wanted to be an airline pilot or a meteorologist when I grew up.  The decision to become an architect was made in my senior year at high school.  I always liked art and science.  Architecture had both.

    What is your favorite thing about working at Continuum?
    The people I work with.

    What do you love about Milwaukee?
    Summertime!  Lots of festivals and good times.  Too bad it is only three months out of the year.
