Gerardo is a native Spanish speaker (one of several at BRW!) and was born and raised in Uruguay. Before earning his Masters in Architecture, Gerardo designed and managed steel fabrication for the construction industry. Some of the projects during his project manager career include a project on the National Mall as well as the design and production of various complex steel structures for projects overseas. Through these experiences and others, Gerardo brings a valuable understanding about the construction of projects of various sizes and complexity to brwarchitects.

At BRW, Gerardo is a skilled project manager who has lead a number of complex projects successfully through construction. He works closely with Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital as well as commercial and residential clients. He has enjoyed designing residential and small commercial projects in Virginia, as well as being honored to be involved in Habitat for Humanity.

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.
