What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

What are your most impactful projects at DRAW?:

Hampton High School Media Center: This project prepares the school to engage in more interactive education with a fully equipped media center, multi-function film and production studio, breakout spaces, a collaboration space for large groups, and a student-run cafe! This project will free up space within the school for much-needed future improvements.

Independence Health System, Clarion Health & Wellness Center: This project creates a hybrid in-patient / out-patient facility close to the community to provide convenient service. You can meet with your cardiologist, get a prescription, and get your bloodwork and PT all in the same facility. There’s even a teaching kitchen and food bank. This facility genuinely shifts the healthcare model from treatment to wellness.

Erie VA Medical Center Oncology Center: The leadership of the Erie VA, their care for patients, and their desire to build a healing community made this project memorable.
