I have been the principle of my own architectural firm since 1983.  Prior to 1983, I was a project architect with two design firms in Pensacola.  During those years, numerous requests for additional service work lead to enhanced networking skills with traditional design firms in need of valued experience in construction documentation and reporting.  Previous to moving to Pensacola, I practiced in an equal partnership with Lisenby & Shuman Architects and as project Architect with Mizell & Associates in Alabama.  Having completed a variety of challenging projects in and around the southeastern region of the United States, my experience accelerated in such occupancies as businesses, schools, churches, residences and financial institutions.  My firm remains small and thrives in being fully computerized, detail oriented, and innovative.  We also have the capability to produce color rendered perspectives, negotiate large construction contracts, and report construction progress through digital camera e-mails.  My goal is quality control.


I have a vast knowledge in a very wide variety of architectural projects.  These projects range from custom residential additions and renovations to multi-million dollar medical, educational, and retail centers.  My specialties include design, investigative work, and a history of coordination.  My abilities encompass the entire building process from initial client contact to final punch list walk-through.  I am a “hands on” Architect and do not encourage design hand offs except to add expertise in a specialty area.  Having grown up in the construction industry, I have an active interest in communicating good building and site details.  Several Architectural firms have consulted with me regarding such matters.  I have frequently been called upon to consult with construction and design firms regarding construction related problems or investigations for cause/ analysis reports.  I have also been asked to review projects, certify pay requests, and generally report the construction status to financial institutions.


I have been very active in several organizations.  I am a past Chairman of the Construction Board of Appeals for Escambia County (1992-2000) and served as Treasurer & Board of Trustees of the Pensacola Men’s Baseball League (PMBL).  I have been an AIA Florida State Director, and I currently serve the AIA Northwest Florida Chapter as President.  I have also been the Florida Chairman of the Florida Architects Political Action Committee (FAPAC).  I am a member of the Exterior Design Institute (EDI) and the International Code Council (ICC).  I have publicly served on a City Planning Board in Alabama and have a history of working with people and issues.  I have been retained as an accepted arbitrator in numerous design/ construction cases by the American Arbitration Association, as well as private legal entities.  I actively participate as an expert witness in legal cases with an unbiased and broad range of experiences backed with research.
