| Occupation | Historic Preservation |
| Location | Silverthorne, CO, United States |
| Introduction | It is my belief that thoughtful stewardship of our cultural heritage is an important part of creating a sustainable society. It is not a good solution if the historic resource performs better but loses its heritage value in the process. When approaching projects (via the planning and development of the Scope of Work / Construction Doc's / Technical Specs / Budget / Contracts / Project Team / Delivery Methods), I believe that bridging the past with the future we must routinely balance technical details against heritage. These experiences and philosophies have expanded my skills, have kept me in the forefront of the green/sustainable/conservation building movement, and allowed me to remain as a leading voice for the integration of historic preservation and today’s building practices. |
