Higher Education

After studying Fine Art on a 1985 scholarship from the MacMahon Foundation at Cameron University College of Art under Benson Warren, Kathy Liontas, and Christi Dietz, he studied architecture at the University of Oklahoma under, Michael Iver Wahl, AIA; Patricia Edson, AIA: Joel Dietrich, AIA; Terry L. Patterson, AIA; Bruce Goff Professors: Joseph Esherick, FAIA; and Gunnar Birkerts. And he conversed regularly with Architect Richard N. Kuhlman, AIA.  As the president of AIA Student Chapter, he chauffeured Gunnar Birkerts and Larry Speck, AIA in his 1974 Chevy Nova. (Gunnar Birkerts was clearly not impressed with the old hotrod nor the student's lack of knowledge of Russian Constructivism). Larry Speck seemed to dig the car and advised something to the effect of: "School shouldn't get in the way of your education." 

In 1991 He designed public schools, voluminous manufacturing infrastructure, historic upgrades and a law enforcement / EOC facility with Galen May, AIA of Victoria and Jim Wiginton of Dallas, Texas and later with the late James D. Pfluger, FAIA of Austin, Texas. Over the years he would occasion to work on other projects with Jim, including a large complex high security jail in Austin, Texas. In 1993 He worked with Perry Rabke and Lorraine Dailey at Edward R. Gondeck, Architects to bring that firm from pen-registered mylar drawing into the world of computer aided drafting, while drawing plans for eleven county law enforcement facilities. He established Archimedia as a sole practice in 1995 after working with Overland Partners Incorporated of San Antonio, Texas on religious and educational facilities as well as masterplanning and multifamily residential projects. It was at OPI, that Andy was introduced to planning principals which would later become widely known as Traditional Neighborhood Development, courtesy of The Congress for New Urbanism. Principals of business and personal life learned at Overland, still illuminate Andy's practice now nearly two decades hence. 

A keen interest in the value of more humane places made for people to live and thrive, and in the value of reasonable responses to urban development challenges, present and future has led Andy to advocate form-based coding as a mechanism for empowering stakeholders from all backgrounds to implement Traditional Neighborhoods and Towns containing a full panoply of space types within a walkable, bikable, strollable, drivable, economically vibrant framework.

Andy lives in the great suburban megalopolis adjoining San Antonio, Texas with his wife Teresa and their family. He practices on a limited small scale from his home studio designing and building residential and small commercial commissions requiring his specialized talents and consulting to owners and fellow architects on items such as stakehoder consensus and construction documents review.

He is an active memeber of the New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce and utilizes space in New Braunfels at the Landmark for clients and team coordination meetings.
