Few people know more about the intricacies of laying out a ball field for regulation play, or choosing between artificial and natural turf fields in the desert Southwest than John. John excels at creating high-quality construction documents for large complex projects. One of his favorites, McFie Circle, transformed the heart of New Mexico State University's campus. John likes to think, design, create, and mentor outside of the box, from exploring solutions that stretch the boundaries of the design profession to finding creative ways as a scout leader and father to help today's youth find their true potential.
