              In reply to What an amazing story and... by Brian Carroll (not verified)I love love this story, I am so very proud of this gentlemen architect and his accomplishments! He made sure his dream came true!
I love this story mainly because I myself love design and architecture, the thought process to drawing on paper to the full blown project being completed. Years ago when my deceased husband was living I was in real estate, he was a building inspector in gorgeous Prince Georges County then the market crashed, I subsequently became a kitchen and bath designer for some of the Big Box Stores and expanded design into interiors and would sell the entire project through the store.
I would visualize projects coming out of the ground. My deceased husband would sit down and draw up home improvement projects by hand for others and I enjoyed watching that process. Subsequently, I got my associates degree in Auto-Cad and Revit, then the college closed down.
I didn't want to lose that skill so I would take part-time projects that involved these skills.  Then 2 years later I applied to the AOC as a custodial laborer in hopes of rising through the ranks, to accomplish the same goals as this wonderful architect!  I hope to follow this architects footsteps and other architects and civil engineers of the AOC, a great place to see your vision come true.  Great story so much encouragement for folks like me.
