From his earliest childhood memories, Chad has only ever wanted to admire, study and produce beautiful architecture. Being the son of a military father took him around the world at an early age. His first architectural revelation came at the age of 5, chasing friends through the Rokokogarten at Veitshochheim, Germany. Running from one chamber of the formal garden to another he paused and remarked, “It is like I’m in a room, but I’m outside.” Distracted, he forgot about his friends and got lost among the gentle fountains and tall hedges. Not surprisingly his favorite book as a child was “The Little House” by Virginia Lee Burton.

Chad uses his lifelong passion for architecture, world vision, and a deep love of classical art and architecture to realize the creation of not only beautiful buildings but elegant lighting, graceful furniture, stained glass, decorative paint, and murals. He is inspired by anything beautiful, from high jewelry to indigenous patterns and motifs.

As Director of Architectural Design at Edifice Design & Architecture, Chad continuously pushes to raise the standard for design, collaboration, and execution. He truly believes that the best buildings balance aesthetics and function.  “The better it looks the better it works!” is Chad’s motto.
