Chris has always enjoyed tackling large problems, with the motivating belief that technical innovation and craft traditions can be united in an architectural idea, and that design can support the global need for conservation.

Since joining MASS Design Group in 2018, Chris has focused on complex projects and delivery methods. He spent four years in the Kigali office, leading the design and construction of the Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture and the Western Serengeti Research Centre for the Grumeti Fund in Tanzania. He has contributed to or managed a number of projects at MASS, including the New Lots Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, Haven Domestic Violence Shelter, Children’s Services Roxbury, Caddo Childcare Center, 110 Ocean Housing, among others.

As a Design Director, Chris leads the Building Integrity group, developing standards, tools, and resources that ensure each building throughout MASS’s portfolio embodies technical excellence and reflects its mission.

Prior to MASS, Chris worked on campus-centered projects including Harvard’s ArtLab and the Cleveland Museum of Art Maintenance Building.

Enjoying sharing his love of construction specifications (among other things), Chris has been an adjunct professor of graduate studios at the Boston Architectural College and has shared his experiences speaking at conferences. He attended Roger Williams University where he received a Bachelor and Master in Architecture.
