How long have you been an Allied member of AIA?Timberlake Construction has been a member for fourteen years.

What is your favorite AIA event? I enjoy the relaxed networking events and love the architectural tour.

What drew you to Business Development? I value long lasting, mutually respectful relationships and believe that we all like to do business with people we know and trust. I enjoy really getting to know people and building that trust. There is never a dull moment!

Do you do any volunteer work? I am a member of several organizations and on the board for some, such as Leadership Oklahoma, downtown Rotary Club 29, CREW, the Fine Arts Institute of Oklahoma and the  Oklahoma City Chamber Advisory Board.  I'm involved in volunteer work with Positive Tomorrows and animal rescue.

What is your favorite design in Oklahoma? I love historic buildings and that so many of them are now being restored. I don't know that I have a favorite design, but a couple that I admire are the Phillips Tower in Bartlesville, the Skirvin and of course the Devon Tower. I'm really excited about the plans for First National.

If you were a super hero, who would you be?  I have no idea - not my thing (:

Window or Aisle? The aisle - I hate being boxed in.

On a Saturday morning, where could we typically find you?
The gym or running.
