Roland Ibarra – Several of us in the firm had known Roland Ibarra over the years and knew of his reputation as an outstanding professional. We were really pleased when he joined us. We think Roland fit right into the culture of our office – his professional demeanor, his always positive attitude and friendly nature enabled him to quickly become one of us. At times – we feel that Roland has been here for much longer than he actually has. Roland is a good example of a servant leader. He is quietly a very strong leader – but at the same time is willing to jump in and work side by side with others when they need help. Roland has become a mentor and advisor to less experienced staff. We are pleased to recognize Roland as an Associate in our Firm.

His personal goal is to have touched every aspect of a project to become a well-rounded Architect and leader in the firm. He has gained the respect and confidence of our staff, contractors and our clients. We are proud to announce that Art has been promoted to Senior Associate.
