Our Story

At Sparrow Hill Technical, precision and quality aren’t just goals—they’re principles rooted in a lifetime of learning and experience. My journey in the drafting and construction industry reflects a dedication to continuous growth and a commitment to excellence.

A Strong Foundation in Architecture

My path began with an early passion for design. During high school, I had the privilege of attending the Syracuse Architecture School Summer Program, earning college credits and gaining an invaluable introduction to architectural design. This experience deepened my interest in the built environment and set the stage for my academic and professional journey.

I went on to attend Iowa State University, a program consistently ranked among the top architecture schools in the country. With its rigorous curriculum, Iowa State’s architecture program prepared me to approach design with technical precision and creative problem-solving. I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture (BARCh) degree, equipped with the skills to handle projects of all scales and complexities.

Building Expertise in Construction and Drafting

To complement my architectural training, I pursued an Associate’s Degree in Construction Management at Wentworth Institute of Technology, a program renowned for its focus on commercial construction and project management. There, I gained invaluable knowledge about the business side of construction, including scheduling, budgeting, and managing large-scale projects.

Wanting to delve deeper into the technical aspects of drafting, I earned a second Associate’s Degree specializing in CAD systems, 3D modeling, material and manufacturing standards, and CNC processes. This education allowed me to master the tools and techniques essential for complex manufacturing and digital design. A minor in Engineering, with a focus on civil and structural practices, rounded out my expertise, enabling me to approach projects with a multidisciplinary understanding.

Real-World Experience

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on projects ranging from straightforward storefront systems to intricate glazing and façade designs for commercial buildings. The combination of architectural training, construction management, and advanced drafting skills allows me to bridge the gap between design and execution, delivering shop drawings that contractors and architects trust.

Looking Ahead

At Sparrow Hill Technical, I aim to push the boundaries of what shop drawings can achieve. By combining deep technical expertise with a commitment to quality, I provide solutions that simplify construction processes while meeting the highest industry standards.
