With a degree from the School of Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Joshua headed south making a stop at a residential firm in Lake Forest, Illinois where he was introduced to the historic century old homes of steel barons and financial tycoons found on the northern shore of Chicago.   From there, Joshua made his way to Atlanta, calling it home since 1999.

With a zeal for the grandeur and craftsmanship of homes from a bygone era, he has nurtured his passion for architectural design while working at the acclaimed residential firm of Historical Concepts.  After a successful tenure there, he expanded his portfolio by designing prestigious private golf and country clubs across the south and eastern seaboard as a project architect at Chapman Coyle Chapman & Associates.

In partnership with A Classical Studio, Joshua continues to feed his passion for inspired residential design while exercising his knowledge of designing hospitality and commercial projects.  Joshua is a licensed architect, a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP), an Accredited member of the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU-A), a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and a past member of the Institute of Classical Art & Architecture.
