You can just call me Sam.
Whether you're a friend, potential employer, or random visitor, I appreciate you taking the the time to learn more about me and my work.
Go on ahead!
I live my life by abiding
by what I call the 3 H's:
Honesty
with my myself & others
Humility
in understanding where I came from
Humor
as a tool for surviving the monstrosity that is architecture
