Animal or PetOur dogs. Nellie, our 10 year old Labrador mix and Milo, our 8 month old Jack Russel Terrier. They both spend most of the work week with me at the office, keeping everyone on their toes.
BookI've always loved old bookstores. One of my favorite stores is Shakespeare & Co., on the Left Bank in Paris. Today I have 500+ books on art, architecture and literature. I love them all.
Childhood MemoryMy most favorite memories include playing with friends in the forest, sailing, fishing and walking to school .... better yet, running home after school with my brother.
Dream VacationAnywhere in Europe, but most especially in Italy and France where the world seems slower and the food is always wonderful.
Fast Food RestaurantWhole Foods - The prepared food aisle. (I've never liked "fast food")
FlowerAny flower, I miss the flower markets in Europe.
Ice creamCoffee....okay; coffee with chocolate chips.
Quality About My SpouseShe's cute; morning, noon and night, whether she believes it or not, I know she is.
Quote"Society needs a good image of itself. That is the job of the architect." - Walter Gropius - As an architect, I strive to better the world around us.
RestaurantWhen I studied in Italy, there was a little restaurant around the corner "Il Cibreo", which had a back door and a small dining room off the kitchen. Seperate from the main dining room. Simple fresh food, I loved it.
Sport to PlayRowing. I've always enjoyed outdoor sports: mountain biking, downhill and cross country skiing, and in recent years rowing. I love being out on the lake with the rowing club here in our town.

Subject in SchoolI enjoyed all of my art and art history classes. That's why I went into an art field and became a graphic designer.
Type of MusicI have very diverse music taste. I'm not sure I could ever choose one favorite group or type of music. But here are a few...Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, Sting, Bob Marley...wow I could go on and on.
Vacation SpotVenice, Italy because I like being around water. I also enjoy our annual summer beach trip, it's very peaceful and relaxing.
