“I split my time between the two things I love the most: the rigor of the unpredictable practice of Architecture and the joy of a loving family that makes our home so special….my family remains ever important in my life and we have all set our roots deep into the home we have built together. My hope now is that we can afford to maintain the values we have developed and share them with the community for a better and brighter future for Balcones Heights.”
