First Moment when you realized you wanted to be an Architect
From middle school until I could drive, my summer job was framing houses for my dad. It took one summer in the Texas heat to realize I enjoyed reading blueprints and building things, but I did not enjoy working in the heat. From then on, I knew I wanted to be involved in the design/construction industry and I knew that architecture was the way forward.
