Senior Principal
“One of my best teachers was the first architect I worked for. John Speegle took me on as a summer intern in San Antonio when I was still in architecture school and didn’t know anything about the practice of architecture. He gave me lots of space to learn through experience and to make mistakes, and gave me guidance to get back on track when I was off.”

“My 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Petty. She was patience and kindness personified. Her husband was also a loved teacher in middle school social studies.”
SARAH PITTMANN
Senior Project Accountant
“My 10th grade History teacher, Mr. Del Orto. He taught more than subject matter, he taught life. He engaged us in a way that made it interesting, and interactive when possible, and connected things to life relevant to us. He had high standards for us and we had tons of work to do, but because of how he truly cared for his student’s well being, and we knew it, we were willing to work hard for him.”
PEDRO ESPINET, AIA, NCARB
Principal
“My senior year art teacher Mr. Ricketts. He constantly challenged us to do things we didn’t think we were capable of, but he’d give us the instructions and techniques to show us we could. He taught us that things worth doing were usually hard.”
