Make the future something we can build, not something we will have to endure. I like dense cities and wide open wilderness. Disciple+GalFriday at @DPZandCO, Leader at @CNUMiami, http://karjach.tumblr.com/ -- I was first introduced to the deeper workings of the built environment helping my father renovate historic homes around the country. I studied mechanical engineering, journalism and cartography at the University of Maryland’s Honors Campus in Baltimore, then urban homesteaded in a West Baltimore neighborhood while working in journalism. I currently work with the world changing Architecture and Town Planning Firm Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company and continue to learn incredible things in between my attempts to complete an undergraduate degree.
