Project Leadership

With RATIO since 2004, Tom believes the primary role of landscape architecture is to bond the built environment with the local ecology. This requires an approach that integrates design, political and economic realities, and sustainable systems – skills that Tom provides at the highest levels. This broad view married with an eye for detail at many scales makes him ideally suited for the practice of urban design and campus planning. He brings a high level of energy and expectation to every project in which he is involved. His passion for design and ability to foster a collaborative atmosphere has made him a key team member on a wide spectrum of projects throughout the firm. Tom is the Director of Urban Design and Planning and offers to his projects more than 18 years of experience, outstanding ability in design communication and a focus on the wellness of communities.

Tom's expertise in designing spaces that enhance a unique university setting has helped clients achieve and enrich their higher education design goals. As students expectations and demands become increasingly more sophisticated, Tom designs to anticipate and meet those needs with innovative and functional spaces.
Tom has taught urban design in the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University and has spoken publicly on smart growth and placemaking.
