J. Brud Weger - Principal Architect

"My first teacher was the architect/builder Howard Curtin. I called him 'The Maestro'. Howard was the master of building grand Mexican casas in the high Arizona desert. His standing order was to 'Make it Fine'. He showed me the value and joy of creating useful, lasting places, pleasing to the eye and spirit."
