A native of Maine I grew up in the seaside town of Falmouth.  Attending both Boston Architectural Center and the prestigious Rhode Island School of design.  It seemed like a natural match having lived up and down the East Coast to become the Design Director for both the New York Metro Region and the North East.

A love of craft, simplicity in detailing, and impeccable execution became the guiding focus of my career.  I have designed for many leading brands including Ralph Lauren as Director of Architecture honing the image and brand identity for the Club Monaco Brand globally.  The 5th Avenue flagship quickly became an icon retail as a marketplace featuring a Strand Bookstore, Flower Shop, and Toby’s Estate Coffee.  Working with Independent coffee brands led to the beginning of a future in coffee with Starbucks.
