I'm a 40 year old graduate of Texas A&M University's Master of Urban Planning program, with emphasis on ecological design and historic preservation. Currently I work for a GIS consulting firm in Houston, Texas. While this isn't at all related to historic preservation, I do travel all over the state and get to photograph a lot of historic buildings.
I am formally trained as an architectural and engineering draftsman, and I have seven years experience as an architectural designer. I also have ten years experience as an engineering draftsman. Aside from that, I've been a soldier, a waiter, a surveyor, a GIS technician, and a grocery store cashier.
