"I have always been amazed by the accomplishments of groups.  When my high school football team won our conference game, I enjoyed knowing that my contribution was only a small part of a larger team effort that required the integration of mind, body, and spirit. In the years following that victory, my passion for group collaboration expanded when I focused on health care design as a career. While I deeply enjoy leading a team of creative people to fulfill a common vision, it’s the result of each team’s work — the actual impact the project has on patients and communities — that I find to be most powerful."
