-I am a licensed REALTOR.

-I have a Masters Degree in Architecture from the College of Design at the U of MN.

-I have over a decade of experience in residential design, on projects of virtually every scale.

-I can help you get into your dream home!
In addition to being a Licensed REALTOR, I also have over 10 years of experience in residential design- including projects that have won RAVE Awards, a P/A Award, and Minnesota AIA Honor Awards. Before coming to Peterssen/Keller Architecture, I spent eight years at ALTUS Architecture + Design, where I worked on projects of virtually every scale – from garage build-outs to concepts for skyscrapers that exceeded 200 stories.  A PDF of my design portfolio can be viewed here (~6.4mb).

In 2010, I discovered my training and studies could be a strong benefit to people looking for existing homes.  An architectural education is about understanding space, construction methods, natural light, sites, views, and most importantly, a client’s wants and desires.  In addition to my design work, I now work with Edina Realty, and help people understand the potential and pitfalls of existing homes.

I believe I bring a critical eye for understanding the context of every home, and I care deeply about the individual personality of each client. I believe that environmental responsibility is a fundamental starting point to any building project, but that good design must be the end point.

Before finding architecture, I initially studied chemical engineering and advanced biology at the University of Minnesota. In 2004, I returned to the U’s College of Design for a Master’s Degree in Architecture. During my studies, I lived and studied in Florence, Lisbon, Barcelona and Venice. My award-winning thesis, Plant Squared – An Urban Farm, looked at bringing agricultural production into urban centers, and can be viewed here (~9mb).

I am passionate about fishing, photography, woodworking, playing bass in a local band and traveling around the world with my wife.
