During his senior year in high school, AJ spent three weeks as an intern at DeanSutton Architects where he got a glimpse of the Architectural world.

​

That summer AJ earned a full time position with the company and has been working here ever since.

​

In 2012 when the DeanSutton Architects partnership dissolved, Mark kept AJ under his wing to help him develop his designing skills.

​

In 2006, AJ was the first person to have received the Distinguished Alumni award from the Erie Boces Harkness Center. He has since been on Erie One Boces Education Development Board which meets every other year.

​

AJ keeps himself busy outside the office as well. He is married with five children and is a frequent community volunteer.

 

He also coaches his children’s sports teams and each year he and his family donate/volunteer their time to the Ride for Roswell, Walk for Breast Cancer, Great Strides Walk (Cystic Fibrosis), and Habitat for Humanity to name a few.
