President, AIA
Education Bachelor of Science in Architecture, University of Cincinnati (1971)
Personal Interests Jeff and his wife Kathy live in a house that he designed and built in Massillon 20 years ago (and it is still standing!). Their three sons have graduated, are married, and now live in NYC, Durham, NC and Portland, OR. Thus, Jeff and Kathy have great places to visit, as well spend time with their two grandsons. They are still looking for that first GIRL in the family! Jeff knew he wanted to become an architect when he was in the 7th grade. After graduating from the University of Cincinnati (where he met Kathy), he spent 4 years in the Navy as an officer (and gentleman), before returning to Canton to begin his architectural career. Jeff has always had a passion for architecture and design, but truly loves the “people” aspect of architecture, both the clients and the contractors. It’s all about coming up with the best possible solution for the client – one that meets both their vision and budget. When not working, Jeff enjoys designing in his backyard with his landscaping  - complete with a pond and waterfalls. Away from the house, he enjoys golfing, or lately, has been known to be spending more time at his favorite wineries, both in Ohio, and Napa Valley, when he can! Jeff also feels it is important to give back to his community. Over 30 years he has been involved with numerous charity and non-profit groups. Currently he is associated with the United Way of Greater Stark Co, Salvation Army of Canton, ArtsinStark Board, and the Stark Development Board.
