I am looking forward to providing the same support to others in the future.”

Now that he has completed his Architectural Registration Exam, Doug is looking forward to further professional development and achievements by studying to become an Accredited Professional under the Green Building Certification Institute’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program.
