Principal

Design Principal/Senior Project Manager

Duties: As a working principal, I was lead designer

and involved in the day-to-day project coordination

of multiple institutional projects. I have worked

with design teams composed of multiple architects,

consulting engineers and specialists on projects

ranging in complexity from new institutional type

construction to complicated multi-phased renovation

projects at numerous Veterans Administration

Medical Center (VAMC) campuses and private

institutional centers in Georgia, North Carolina

and South Carolina. In addition, the projects have

ranged in scale from small office area renovations

to complex additions requiring multi-phased

construction while maintaining the day-to-day

operations of the existing facility. Complicated

renovations create unique challenges much different

than new construction endeavors. It takes the

concerted effort of the entire design team together

with the client staff to fully coordinate

department moves and phasing during the

construction process. Over the years, my

professional experience has enhanced my intuitive

approach to project delivery. I have implemented a

pro-active, pre-planning strategy with members of

the entire design team to create the foundation

required for well-executed projects. My management

skills and knowledge of the design process have

resulted in many diverse and successful projects

over the years.

Accomplishments: In my career, I have been involved

in over $298 million dollars of construction work.

Of that, over $185 million dollars has been

directly related to institutional design projects

at Batson Architects with approximately 70% new

construction, 25% renovation and 5% proposed or

future work. The raw construction cost equates to

approximately 1.35 million square feet of

healthcare related facilities or close to 30 acres

of new and renovated space.

Related Skills: Over my career, my management

skills and hands-on experience, in programming,

conceptualizing, design development and

construction administration, lends itself well to

the skill-sets required in the design of today's

complex building facilities.

Project Architect/Project Manager

Duties: I personally worked with and managed design

teams to program, design and develop construction

document drawings and specifications for a new

institutional facility and several major

institutional addition/renovation projects. At this

point in time, drawings were accomplished by hand

prior to the advent of computer design and required

focused design efforts from all engineering

disciplines to produce accurate construction

documents.

Accomplishments: During my tenure at the firm, I

was directly involved in approximately $64 million

dollars or approximately 460,000 square feet of

institutional related construction in Georgia,

North Carolina and South Carolina. Of that work,

73% was new construction, 21% renovation and 6%

proposed future construction. As the project

manager, I take great pride in maintaining

construction change orders to less than 2%

construction for new construction and less than 5%

for renovation work, something rarely accomplished

in complicated construction work.

Related Skills: As a member of the design team,

managing these complex projects required the

concerted effort of all the stakeholders,

architects, consulting engineers and building staff

to meet the program, budget and efficiencies

required in running a state of the art facility.

ADDITIONAL LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental

INFORMATION Design)

As principal-in-charge, I designed the first LEED

Silver Certified Monastery of St. Clare in the

United States. As a religious community embracing

the environment, the sisters wanted to leave as

small a carbon footprint as possible by following

the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design) process for green sustainable architecture.

Through this sustainable design approach, the

sisters chose the altar stone from an on-site

boulder. In addition, the building orientation

along with a geo-thermal water-source heat pump

system, energy recovery unit, high performance

double-pane low 'e' glass window system and

recycled materials where applicable complimented

their commitment to their present and future

communities. By following the environmentally

sensitive design approach, the monastery facility

attained the goal of true sustainable design.

I have also sought out opportunities beyond my

profession by being involved in the upstate

community of South Carolina, such as teaching at

Clemson's College of Architecture and acting as a

visiting design critic at the South Carolina

Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities,

because I find that such experiences compliment my

architectural practice and provide sources of

inspiration both personally and professionally.
