In the fifth grade, my daily walk to school was along Luzerne Street in Westmont Borough of Johnstown, PA. Known for the longest continuous stand of American elms in the US, this tree-lined boulevard boasts grand homes built at the turn of the last century. It was from these frequent walks that a passion for architecture and the built environment began to develop, and by the eighth grade I was spending much of my free time designing and drawing houses. 

When envisioning my firm, it was only fitting that I paid homage to the beautiful Luzerne Street.
