Shape Your Future like You Shape Your Projects. Start Your ARC!

PROFILE

I’ve been fortunate. I’ve been able to build an interesting and rewarding global career after a difficult start. This experience taught me the vital importance of knowing when and whom to ask for guidance and support. Today, I am committed to passing on the knowledge and insight I’ve gained whenever I can.

I’m a design driven architect, builder and real estate developer with four decades of experience in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. I apply the common denominators of analyzing a complex task, organizing a process to attain a meaningful and profitable outcome and managing their execution to attain a goal in every project.

I’ve learned and practiced careful listening, recognizing patterns, formulating alternatives, and creating detailed schedules and plans to transform programs and ideas into purposeful action. Working across multiple cultures, disciplines, and industries, navigating personal, professional, and world-altering transitions, I’ve developed a sensitivity to a broad range of people, issues, and circumstances, equipping and inspiring me to coach. I’ve been certified by the New York Institute of Coaching.

I earned a B. Arch from the Southern California School of Architecture, SCI-Arc, after attending the University of Berkeley, School of Environmental Design. I’ve designed, built, and developed at scale: institutional, commercial, retail, office and residential projects – each with its own cultural, legal, contextual and financial nuances and requirements. Once upon a time I was a set designer for movies and television in Hollywood.

I’ve practiced yoga for 25 years and studied different wisdom traditions throughout my life, which have become fundamental in my personal and professional growth. I try living according to the principles I’ve learned.

I am presently enrolled in a Certificate program in Conflict Resolution at the University of Massachusetts. I continue to design and develop projects. 

If you’re looking for someone to assist you or your company in the challenges you’re facing, pursuing your goals, or developing a vision for the future with an actionable plan to get there, I can support and guide your process with clarity and rigor.

I appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

Designer, Builder, Coach

As a Designer, Builder and Coach I approach my work with a focused yet open mind. I follow a system I’ve honed over many years of developing projects. Life happens, as we all know, so I remain flexible. I will take the same approach working with you.

Value Alignment

I’ve learned over the course of my own ARC, through hardship and success, the relevance and resonance of aligning my work with my values and personal pursuits. This may be important to you as well.
