This leads ultimately to lots of architectural schematic designs for initial client approval, design developments, and putting together construction and permit submission documents and occasionally do site surveys to gather information to start a project.

What led you to apply at Loveless Porter?

I used to do a very long commute to work at McLean from our home in Fredericksburg (we had lived there a year by then and the commute was already taking its toll) so I passively started looking for a new place to that would shorten my drive and the traffic and actually interview with a friend of Sean’s but at the time, they did not have the opening ready for me to join their team so told me to wait. A couple of months later Sean had met him and, in a conversation, express his need to hire another person for LPA and I was recommended.
