Tom’s hands on experience in the construction industry is a valuable asset to his residential clients. Having worked as a carpenter, Tom understands the mechanics of “how things work together”, which when incorporated into the design process, provide a better understanding of what is constructible and what affect that may have on the budget. The ultimate experience for any architect is the opportunity to design their own home. Tom multiplied this experience not only by designing a home for him and his wife, but also by constructing much of the home himself. The experience enabled Tom to truly understand the challenges and excitement his residential clients encounter during a design and construction project.
