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

The Cloisters on the Platte has been perhaps the most impactful project in my career. I had so much growth during the project with exceptional mentors (within Vireo, our Clients, and Contractors) who both guided me, and valued my input.

What initially drew you to what you do?

It may seem strange but an early childhood memory of making a model – tent structures for the Minnesota Vikings Stadium – out of panty hose, wooden dowels, and balls sparked my curiosity for the built world and how it all fits together. This paired with gardening with my mother each weekend (after cartoons of course) helped lead me down this path.

Be curious. Always. Curiosity takes humility, a thirst for knowledge and understanding, and a genuineness that leads to growth.
