I was reared in Des Moines Iowa. After graduating from Roosevelt High School 1996. I was blessed to continue my education in Baton Rouge, LA attending Southern University A&M as a student athlete. In 2002, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in architecture and moved to Texas for about eight years to pursue a career in the field of architecture.
After returning to Des Moines in 2011 I saw immense amounts of growth and new vibrant development across the metro. But somehow not much has changed in other areas of the city. I returned to see the very same empty lots and boarded up homes that I grew up with were still in neglect 15 years later. I knew something had to be done. Inspired by this observation, I found a home in the Riverbend area. I purchased 1609 8th Street with a big vision. The vision is to restore, showcase and utilize this home as hub. This model home would promote and encourage sustainable living and efficient housing methods.
