He enjoys collaborating with architects, particularly on projects that shape hospitals and airports, and looks forward to continuing to help architects bring their visions to life. His advice to aspiring professionals emphasizes the importance of maintaining a quality-oriented, transparent, and honest approach for long-term success. To his 18-year-old self, he would say that his skills and determination were enough to succeed. In his personal life, he hopes to continue enjoying traveling with family, vacationing with friends, scuba diving, motorcycling, participating in sports, snow skiing, golfing, playing racquetball and pickleball, and engaging in car and go-kart racing.
