Hello and thanks for visiting my site. I'm interested in all things creative, especially "vision based solutions" that make our planet a better place. My education was in architecture & urban design (Va Tech'71 &'73). After 2 years with the US Peace Corps in Brazil, I settled into a small architectural practice in my home town of Lynchburg, VA. In addition to designing a wide variety of "spaces & places", over the last 45 years, I have helped design everything from neckwear to furniture to hotels and restaurants, and from "namescape" art to complex real estate investment strategies. To confess, I have what I call the "vision disease". I can clearly see the future. The trick is how to pay for it! I hope this website will be a celebration of creative and visionary thinking; of the journeys, not just the destinations; and of the questions, not just the answers. I especially enjoy collaboration; so, please contact me whenever you see a place you would like to connect or have something to say . As Fareed Zakaria says each Sunday morning....."lets get started"!
