Before earning his Masters in Architecture, Gerardo designed and managed steel fabrication for the construction industry.

Through these experiences and others, Gerardo brings a valuable understanding about the construction of projects of various sizes and complexity to brwarchitects.

He works closely with Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital as well as commercial and residential clients.

Gerardo has a strong interest in urban projects and sustainable design, and believes architects play a significant role in improving the well-being of the community. He enjoys working on a wide diversity of projects at brwarchitects, and understands each project delivers a unique opportunity to tell a story. He enjoys traveling with his wife as well as reading and drinking a good cup of coffee.
