Excerpts from the article below:

“As early as I can remember, I wanted to be an architect,” he says. “I have very clear memories of being in the back of our family car. I was the youngest of three boys, so, I was always in the back seat. That was my happy place as a kid on road trips and even just going to the local grocery store. I just loved to look out the window. I always remember really paying attention to the buildings around me.

“Living in the suburbs back in the day, I remember criticizing some of the redundancy and repetition. I've always wondered what would have happened if I would have never left the city as a teenager. I think I would have absolutely still been an architect, but I feel like I would have probably gone a little bit different route.”

He’s influenced by West Texas, even though “I’m not intentionally trying to do that.”

“I've been told that a lot, that, ‘Hey, your designs have a West Texas vibe.”

His father is from the Marfa-Alpine region, so, the family spent a lot of time out there.

“I guess it just kind of comes out a little bit,” he says. “But a lot of it, too, is just growing up even just around Somervell County and Glen Rose. There’s so many old stone buildings and cedar clad buildings. I really appreciated that because it felt timeless to me.”

Another of his award-winning projects is his office building, which sits on a small plat on the Somervell County Courthouse square. The courthouse was erected in 1893, two years before the Tarrant County Courthouse.
