LSY Architects & Planners

William was born in New Haven, CT, and moved to Maryland to attend the University of Maryland, where he graduated with a BS in Architecture. With over 5 years of experience as an architectural and project designer, he has worked on various projects, including K-8 schools, higher education facilities, country clubs, and police stations. He is thrilled to be part of the LSY team and is focused on achieving licensure. He plans to take the first ARE exam later this fall. Outside work, he enjoys sports, particularly basketball and football (Go Patriots!), and exploring music, movies, and traveling. We are excited for him to join and contribute to the LSY team!

#LATEPOST 🌟 Reflecting on an unforgettable week at the AIA 24 Conference!  I was privileged to immerse myself in diverse perspectives, connecting with brilliant minds worldwide. From thought-provoking sessions to engaging discussions, every moment was a learning opportunity. Meeting fellow attendees from different backgrounds enriched the experience, exchanging ideas and insights. I am excited to carry forward these connections! As a volunteer, I was excited to participate in the week's events and contribute my time as a session monitor for several amazing panels, assisting attendees at the App/Info Desk, Event Check-ins, and Tours.  Between being a volunteer and attendee, I carved out time to walk the EXPO floor with members of my LSY team. It was an awesome opportunity to introduce them to new partners and reconnect with active ones. Building and maintaining relationships is key; I'm excited for the journey ahead! #AIA24 #Networking #BusinessDevelopment #LifetimeLearner The American Institute of Architects (AIA)
