Gerry has a very diverse background in art and architecture. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago, completed a one year Work Study Practicum (Art and Architecture) in Stockholm, Sweden, attained a Degree in Architecture from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, and a Masters of Fine Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Gerry is a licensed architect in the states of Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, Texas, Pennsylvania, Montana, Michigan, Arizona Washington, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina, Illinois, California, Kansas, New Jersey, South Carolina, New York, and Virginia. He is also NCARB certified. Gerry is a member of AIA (American Institute of Architects), CEFPI (Council of Educational Facilities Planners International), and UFOMA (Utah Facilities Operations & Maintenance Association).

In 1977 Gerry established the firm and since that time has worked with hospital, health care, educational, commercial, and residential projects. His goal is to establish long-term client/architect trust by creating good, efficient, cost effective, and attractive buildings.

Active in the Salt Lake Community, Gerry serves as a board member of the Salt Lake Acting Company, Chairman of the Board for KRCL Public Radio, and volunteers his time for non-profit organizations throughout the community. A former bicycle racer, he and his son recently took a bicycle tour from Montana to Wisconsin. Occasionally, during the summer, we will see Gerry's bicycle parked in his office (his mode of transportation for that day).
