Highlighted projects I have completed during the 16 year span of my career.

1. The Disney Grand
Californian Hotel is the first
Disney Resort to be located
within one of their theme
parks. Located between
Walt Disneyland and their
new California Adventure
theme park, the resort
contains 750 guestrooms,
including Presidential and
Vice Presidential Suites, of
which I assisted in the
design. I worked directly
with the Project Designer to
develop the Arts and Crafts
styling for the hotel,
coordinated its design with
Walt Disney Imagineering,
including coordination of
the building envelope to
allow pass through of the
existing Monorail, and
created final presentation
drawings that were unveiled
to Michael Eisner.

4. As Project Manager for the
tenant fit-out of Farmland
Industries new headquarters in
Kansas City, Missouri, I
coordinated the design of
tenant space with Higgins
Development, the developer,
and Soloman, Cordwell, Buenz
& Associates, the base building
architect. During construction,
I worked directly with Turner
Construction Company and
the owner’s representatives
from Farmland Industries to
successfully maintain the
budget and schedule for the
60,000 square feet project.

5. During the design process of
the Servery, Employee Café
Dining, and Test Kitchen at the
new Farmland Industries
Headquarters, I managed
coordination with a kitchen
consultant and compliance
with local health code
requirements. Design of the
Conference Room at the Test
Kitchen required additional
coordination with an AV
consultant to accomodate
audio-visual capabilities, which
hosted presentations of food
preparation.

6. As part of the architectural
team at LSY Architects, I
coordinated the design and
detailing of the campus
perimeter gate houses. Every
architectural material of the
gate houses and its detailing
required continuous scrutiny
during all phases of design in
consideration of maintaining
the highest level of security
and the National Institutes of
Health’s project budget.

7. The secure perimeter project
at The National Institutes of
Health campus required
thoughtful planning of the
implementation of each
perimeter element was
completed in phases. The
secured perimeter master
plan included adjustments to
grading, addition of hard-
scape and architectural
features for fencing, in
addition to the series of gate
houses at prominent points of
entry.

8. Castle Creek Lodge, a 14,000 square foot private residence in Aspen, Colorado, was
designed in the style of the National Park Service lodges. The owners desired a
home that would accommodate their love of entertaining in a serene Mountain
setting. The residence is sited on axis with Mt. Hayden, a 13,500 majestic peak in the
Elk Range. I assisted the Project Manager in design development and construction
detailing to integrate a contemporary blend of Western Arts and Crafts with
Mountain log construction, including stone and shingles at the exterior, in addition to
stained concrete floors and antique pine throughout the interior. Construction
completed in 1998 and Castle Creek Lodge was featured in “Another 100 of the
World’s Best Houses” published in 2004.

9. While the client was
vacationing in Europe, their
home in the community of
Laguna Beach, California
perished in the raging fires that
hit the area in 1993. They
decided to rebuild on their
existing property. Designing
their future home on the
existing site presented many
challenges including neighbor-
hood covenants redefining
maximum roof height,
preservation of the existing
pool, and a 40% grade. In
response to the design
challenges, the building
envelope was terraced in
three levels, two tiers of
retaining walls were provided,
and an application for a roof
height variance was approved
by Orange County. The final
design included a handmade
clay tile roof system, custom
wrought iron and clear
tempered glass railing systems,
citarilla screen walls, and a
Chef’s kitchen.

10. The Pacific Star Supper Club served as one of Denver’s
premiere nightclubs, including fine cuisine and musical
entertainment. An open seating layout was necessary
to allow each patron to have a first-row experience.
Low-level lighting in the dining area was desired in order
to avoid competition with performance lighting at the
bandstand. I used AccuRender in conjunction with
AutoCad to create the here dimensional rendering.

13. The proposed Marriott Escondido
Hotel and Conference Center is
a 196-key full-service hotel
located adjacent to the
Escondido City Hall and
integrated with the Escondido
Center for the Performing Arts.
The concept of the hotel’s
exterior compliments the Art
Deco styling of the Performing
Arts Complex and Conference
Center, which was designed by
Architect, Charles Moore. As
Development Manager for Sage
Hospitality Resources, the hotel
operator, I directed the Design
Team during each phase of
design, including finish, furniture,
and equipment selections. I was
also the liaison between the
Development Team and Marriott
to ensure compliance with
brand standards or negotiate
operator-driven deviations.

14. The Renaissance Providence Hotel opened in June, 2007 and was
developed in partnership between Sage Hospitality Resources and
Kimberly Clark Corporation. The renovation of the 1927 historic
landmark Masonic Temple resulted in the largest historic
restoration project in Rhode Island history into a 274-room luxury
Marriott Renaissance hotel with a grand ballroom, restaurant,
meeting rooms, and fitness center. As a project manager for Sage
Hospitality Resources, I facilitated coordination between Hensel
Phelps Construction Company, BBG-BBGM Architects, their
consultants, and Forrest Perkins, the Interior Designer.

After a successful and very public hotel opening, I continued project
management activities for project close-out including the order and
delivery of missing furniture and equipment, ensuring completion of
Owner and Marriott brand punch list items, directing subcontractors
to complete unfinished construction work, and managing a third

15. The King Academic and
Performing Arts Center at
the Auraria Campus in
Denver offers a venue and
resource center for
students from Community
College of Denver, Metro
State, and University of
Colorado at Denver to
hone their musical skills.
Musician students can
practice their performance
skills at the 200-seat Recital
Hall. I worked closely with
an acoustician to design a
space responsive to
natural acoustics.

16. The seating at the Recital Hall is sharply raked
to allow each audience member the
optimum sight line to the stage. The use of
various architectural elements including fins
at the ceiling, perforated metal at the rear
wall, canted stage walls, and shadow boxes
at the side walls help in absorption of sound.
Catwalks were also designed to provide
access to stage lighting.

17. While at Semple Brown Design, I was Job Captain for The Ellie
Caulkins Opera House during design development,
construction documentation and construction administration
phases. In addition to design collaboration, I managed
extensive coordination with MEP consultants, structural
engineers, MEP contractors and structural detailers throughout
the project.

19. In designing the interior of The Ellie Caulkins Opera
House, a new and contemporary design program
had to be carefully devised so that it fit within the
existing exterior shell of the Denver Municipal
Auditorium, originally completed in 1908. The
management of the design and construction
required extensive planning and organization as
everyone involved with the project recognized
that the complex design was like “building a ship
in a bottle”.
