Commercial Plans Examiner 

City of Vancouver

   With a rich and varied background in architecture, my journey began after college when I joined a design/build firm. Unlike many traditional architects, I had the unique opportunity to spend significant time on-site, absorbing invaluable wisdom from seasoned superintendents. 

   One of my early projects, a French Fry line expansion in Idaho, may have been put on hold, but my passion for hands-on work never wavered. I even took it upon myself to model refrigeration piping for fun, which led to a rewarding year-long stint with a refrigeration consultant in Portland, OR, helping bring their projects into 3D.
 

   Seeking a shorter commute and new challenges, I transitioned to working with the City of Vancouver as a Commercial Plans Examiner. This role sharpened my skills in navigating complex codes and regulations, enabling me to assist clients in identifying potential issues early in the process. My goal is to help you avoid costly changes down the line by providing thorough reviews before you submit your plans to any jurisdiction.
