About David O.
They say Im a dreamer….. but im not the only one
Other DesignerI'm a designer who build tidy functional site specific single family residences. I have been a contributor to the built environment since 1997. I've owned my own business since 2000 first as a trade contractor then as a general contractor. Most recently I've embarked on a non traditional path to becoming a licensed architect in Texas where I live. Ive endorsed myself in the field as I already have several projects credited to me and have been working under a licensed architect who is mentoring me. I am completely in love with what I do. It gives me such a passion and purpose and I cannot imagine doing anything else
