I am an architect, software designer, and architectural historian. I teach in the School of Architecture at Woodbury University, where I am coordinator of History and Theory. I’m currently writing my Ph.D. dissertation at UCLA.  Originally from Canada, I studied architecture at the University of Waterloo in Ontario and worked for several years as an architect in Montréal. I moved to the US to go to MIT in the late 1990s, then moved to Los Angeles and worked in software systems design for 5 years before starting my doctoral studies in the early 2000s. I live in Altadena, California with my wife, Kati, and our children, Roland, Eve, and George. Here’s a live webcam in our general neighborhood.

You can contact me at the following address, which I have concealed using a Neanderthal-grade encryption scheme (borrowed from Clarke and Kubrick’s alleged use of the Caesar cypher) whose utter obviousness I am hoping will confuse the spam bots:
