Coworkers
“I am thankful for all of my coworkers and their willingness to share knowledge.

Contractors
“I am thankful for all the contractors I work with who truly make all of my projects a collaborative effort. What we do behind the screens with our architectural tools doesn’t always translate as expected behind the scenes at the project site. The entire process is a team effort to make these projects come to reality – we couldn’t do will out the skill and care from our contractor counterparts.” – Benjamin Van Eps, AIA
“I am thankful for contractors that approach construction as a team approach, those are always the most successful projects.” – Laura Daughtery, AIA
