I'm an architect with deep roots in classical tradition. I studied Palladio's original drawings under James Ackerman and Howard Burns before Notre Dame revived its classical curriculum, and that early formation shapes how I think about cities and buildings today. I write about New York's zoning, housing myths, and neighborhood typologies, and I push back on oversimplified takes on architectural history. Ask me about classical architecture, New York City urbanism, housing policy, and architectural history.
