The grandson of two builders. The son of two doctors. It seemed his life could go only one of two ways. From an early age his artistic inclinations, summers playing in his grandfathers wood shop, and visiting his job sites, paved the way to a life long passion for architecture. Shop classes in middle school, and architecture and engineering electives in high school, further emboldened his drive to pursue his burgeoning passion. In the Fall of 2005, Cameron enrolled in the University of Colorado’s College Of Architecture and Planning, fortifying his goal of one day designing inspiring homes for wonderful people.

Life as it happens, isn’t so simple. He realized he got as much joy from building models as the design itself. Reminded that his grandfather, a carpenter turned superintendent for one of the largest construction companies in the midwest, regularly besmirched architects for not understanding how buildings actually go together. While concurrently hearing from architects that contractors are constantly hijacking their designs to make them cheaper, or “architracting” the design to make it work. Cameron started to wonder what his life would look like if he could build his own designs. Coincidentally, a new trend was emerging. The concept of the Design Build, having both the architect and general contractor under the same roof, working as a team towards the common goal of honoring the clients needs.

Upon graduating, Cameron found himself at a crossroad. A snowboarding accident and resultant back injury brought the realization that sitting at a desk for extended periods of time was unsustainable. Wanting to be someone his grandfather would respect, and having an equal reverence for the act of craftsmanship as well as distinguished design. He chose to further his education in a rather non traditional manner. Armed with a solid foundation in aesthetic theory and the many languages and tools used by the architectural profession, Cameron set out to learn how buildings go together from the people who actually build them.

And so the journey began. Over the next 15 years Cameron would work as an apprentice, roofer, living roof installer, pedestal decking installer, carpenter, foreman and site super. He even went on national television to design and build an off-grid tiny house for HGTV. With equal experience in both rough and finish carpentry including custom furniture and cabinet making, he began to find a real niche in the technical. The cavalry brought in when there was only one shot to do it right and all too often, after the fact, when someone else had tried and failed. He persisted in familiarizing himself with the other trades and watching intently, the successes and failures of architects as he brought their plans to fruition. All the while, moonlighting as an architectural designer in his spare time.

In 2020 Cameron passed the residential contractors exam. Making him eligible to act as general contractor in any Boulder County Municipality. Making his dream of designing and building custom homes, like the plans on his desk, a reality.
