All Leadership

“It is tremendously rewarding to partner with our clients to positively impact the lives of those in our communities through the design of the built environment.”

Successful Civic projects have one major characteristic in common:  Collaborative Teams.  Good ideas come from anyone on the Team.  I am passionate about leading Teams through the collaborative process to achieve great design and build a facility that meets and exceeds expectations in every way.

“The art of architecture cannot be realized without engineering creativity and innovation. I enjoy our integrated approach that allows me to collaborate with our architects to make our clients desires a reality.”

“Being a part of a team that is truly passionate about creating a firm that has profound impact on the communities we serve while building on our core pillars of relationships, performance, and design motivates me every day.”

“One of the most rewarding feelings is seeing a long term client relationship develop from the beginning of our first project to a partnership where we trust, value, and leverage each other’s strengths to create truly great environments together.”

“Steve Jobs said it, and I’m a firm believer in that ‘the only way to do great work, is to love what you do.’”

“I believe that there is great opportunity in every school project, large or small.  Working collaboratively with engaged stakeholders allows us to design projects that truly make a difference. Delivering an inspiring project that positively impacts students and the school community is an amazing feeling.”

“My passion is to help take Lionakis to even greater heights through its Vision, Strategic Planning and best practices to the benefit of all our stakeholders.  The business aspects of the practice and design must be mutually complementary and work in tandem to achieve our goals while having alignment with Lionakis’ Core Values.”

“My family has been in Sacramento since 1860, our children and 8 Grandchildren all live in the region.  I want to spend my time working with companies that want our region to excel, a place where the best employees and businesses would want to come and stay. Lionakis is impressive to me with the creativity and quality of their work and the values and culture so it feels like a good fit to me.”

“What drives me as an educational architect is the design of inspired, transformational spaces which provide all students with limitless opportunities for personal growth and success.”
