“UNLV is a big part of my story. I didn’t graduate, leave Las Vegas, and build a career somewhere else. I chose to stay in Southern Nevada. Being able to return to UNLV to teach, mentor students, and stay involved in our local design community has given me a chance to show the next generation that great architecture with a national and international presence can come from right here in Las Vegas.”
