On January 14th, 2010 my life was irrevocably changed, mostly for the better, when I decided to start a blog site and start talking about what it meant to be, and work with, an architect.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and this event was most likely going to be filled with ex-professors and old classmates of mine. I started that site as a creative outlet in 2010 when things around the office where I was working got a bit slow. Last year over 3 million people came to my site to read what I had to say.
