What can I say? I often think about all the friends I have in Broken Arrow. You might recall me as the guy who never did his homework in drafting class and was always more interested in having fun. Believe it or not, I became an Architect and attended College at OU as well as Harvard University. Go Figure. I actually buckled down and graduated BA on the Pricipals honor roll, but tried to keep that on the down low as not to ruin my rep. I have been back to BA on occasion, in fact many of you may have visited my design-work at the McDonald's on Aspen. I was the Architect for McDonald's Corporation for many years and now manage all of the construction in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. If i'm not working on a McDonald's project, you can catch me coaching baseball. For some reason I'm obsessed with the game.

I have many fond memories of Broken Arrow. I think the most fun time was going to Mazzio's after football games (at the old campus which is now North Intermediate), skipping classes with Willy Lancaster. Willy and I were in charge of keeping the fish tank clean in the Honors Biology class. By the end of the first 9 weeks the fish were not visible. After graduation I enrolled in the College of Architecture at OU. In 1991 I enrolled in the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University in Cambridge, Ma. Graduated in Spring 1993. Moved back to Tulsa for 11 months then took a position in OKC and live there currently.
