In your time at Vireo, what has been your favorite project and why?

Lake Lenexa was the first project of its kind in the area and really was groundbreaking. It was centered around city planning from a natural resource perspective, with trails, wetlands and lakes all integral to the urban design.

Strang Park’s inclusive playground has been very rewarding for entirely different reasons. There’s nothing better than seeing the kids run out onto the playground with huge smiles.

What is your favorite part of what you do?

Designing great spaces for people.

Make people happy by giving them great places to live, work and play.

What is your personal professional philosophy?

What’s the most surprising thing about you?

I DJ on the side.
