An architect by trade, a problem solver at heart and a leader by choice, Michael is a gifted project and client leader. With diverse experience ranging from academics to sports, science and student life, Michael has built 30 years of proven experience in the planning and design of successful education spaces.

Michael is always focused on exceeding client expectations, from design innovation to project timelines and budgets and ultimately the final solutions. He is a tireless client advocate, always helping galvanize the best from his teams. One of our most trusted project leaders, Michael also steps outside of the education practice to lead bold sports or health projects too.
