AIA, LEED AP, OCD, AWOL
Jeff has been working in architecture since the time of The Pharaohs. The band, not the ancient Egyptians. He’s not that old. As a kid, he always wanted to be either a cop, robber, cowboy, Indian, astronaut, professional Q-Tip packager; the list goes on. Lacking sound judgment or parental guidance, he chose architecture, the lowest-paying of all the aforementioned careers. After five years at Kansas State University, he graduated Johnny Cum Lately with a Bachelor of Architecture degree and moved to New Mexico, where he began his career. After ten years of trying to learn the language, culture, and metric system, he gave up and moved to Utah. Upon arrival, he realized he hadn’t crossed an international border and soon realized that his former co-workers knew the meaning of the long game.
Jeff is well practiced in the art of speaking in the third person and has developed an acute sense of when Teams meeting members are rolling their eyes, whether on or off camera. He is intrigued by the recent creation of the fourth-person POV and is hard at work on inventing the fifth. He sees no end to the possibilities unless they exceed ten. Jeff is formerly licensed to practice architecture in New Mexico, is presently licensed in Utah, and has several outstanding bench warrants in four surrounding states and Idaho. He has passed every drug test he's been given because chewable vitamins cannot be detected in the standard tox screen. However, he typically loses several points in the essay portions of the tests.
We're just getting to know Krista and will share when we have more!
