TJ is a recent graduate of the School of Architecture at Mississippi State University. He always knew he wanted to do something creative in life. As a kid, he dreamed of maybe one day becoming a cartoonist. Growing up he also had a great interest in how things were built and briefly considered moving down the career path of construction. In a way, pursuing architecture has allowed him the opportunity to scratch both those itches.

TJ is an avid reader and has a real thirst for knowledge. When not focusing on architecture, TJ tries to educate himself in other related fields, like construction management and the real estate market, as well as a variety of other topics of interest, such as history, science, psychology, and philosophy. 

Having lived in Grenada, Mississippi his entire life, TJ jumps at opportunities to travel to new places. Outside of the office, he tends to spend most of his time outdoors, whether it be on the golf course, fishing on a lake, or just swaying back and forth in a hammock.
