High School Architecture Exploration Program

I have an opportunity to hold an Architecture Exploration Program for Detroit area High School Students. This program is designed to introduce high school students to careers in the Architecture, Design and Creative Industries. Students will engage in a real world architectural design problem and utilize the current technological tools used by industry to develop high demand, high wage, 21st Century Skills.

Deadline extended

Painting and Drawing

I have been exploring painting and drawing in between architectural commissions. Some of my pieces are on my website.

Meals on Wheels

Wednesday my daughters Girls Scout Troop and I helped the Christian Tabernacle Church’s Meals on Wheels 2009 volunteer campaign pack meals for seniors.
We helped pack Thanks Giving meals for 5500 people.

Help support Detroit Meals on Wheels.

Michigan Building Permits

Every community in Michigan has some requirements for the construction or renovation of buildings. One of the first steps to take when planning any construction project (after selecting your architect) is to check with the local building department.
I have begun to compile a list of links to Building and Safety Department websites in Michigan. The contact numbers are on most of the websites. Some communities also have a building permit application available for download.
Feel free to bookmark the site for future reference.
