John’s love of architectural design began during his college years, eventually leading him to pursue and obtain a Certified Professional Building Design certification from the National Council of Building Design. This certification allows John to design building projects in all 50 states. Structural sculpture combines creativity with engineering–or, as John puts it, requires both sides of the brain to work in harmony.
