Professional Bio

My professional career as an Architect spans forty five years with emphasis in recent years focused on museum and cultural institution store design and planning with a broad range of scope and geographical locations.
I also focus my enthusiasm for museums locally by having been an active member of the Mercer Museum and Fonthill Castle Board of Trustees for two six year terms years, a member of the Mercer Collections Committee and acting as past Chairman of the Governance Committee. During Henry Mercer’s Fonthill Castle’s centennial year, I organized and presented the program “Expression and Experimentation: The Building of Fonthill”. Previously, I sat on the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s Building and Facilities Committee and was a member of the 50th Anniversary Advisory Council for the Pennsylvania Ballet.
