I today years told when I leared there were more lines to the Burnham quote:

“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir mens’ blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty.”

Wow. We made it to 25 years!

A lot of ups and downs, but we are on an excellent trajectory. We could not have done it with out the support of our staff, clients, friends, family, and my lovely wife who is also a fantastic architect Irene Edgar, RA, LEED AP

Thank you to everyone who has been along with us for the ride and our new colleagues who are along the next leg of this journey.

Next month our Architecture firm turns 25!
Even now, there are days where it still feels like a startup and others that we are the mature player in the marketplace.
The next 25 years will be quite the ride!
