Wow... how time flies... when I was working for Forell/ Elsesser... Nick would support me when I was struggling “personally” & Eric would rarely look me in the face but gave me the “Best” projects to work on. Eventually I realized that Eric & I had a lot in common regards to not separating the Architectural Context with the Structural Context. They were one and the same.

I continue to take this to heart, as the Architectural Engineer of Record for the Museum of Jazz & Art Complex, but I’ve added one more context —-Music vocabulary.

I would not be doing what I’m doing without seeing the importance of “passion” in these Engineering & Architectural cats & therefore the importance of loving what you do.
Thank you Nick (passed February 19, 1998) & Eric (passed Dec 6, 2007)
