Job and Employer
Work:
At Parsons, our principle client is the Office of Job Corps, Dept. of Labor, which runs 124 Job Corps campuses around the country and Puerto Rico. Travel to, surveying, and planning improvements to these centers is very fulfilling. This is especially so given the mission of Job Corps and the far flung places they are located.
I also provide consulting and building inspections for green construction projects (see www.environdc.com) as an architect and LEED AP.
Community work & family
Other Projects Outside Work:
- Until recently I was Vice-Chair of the National Capital Region Chapter of the US Green Building Council
- Both my daughters and 5 grandkids live in or near Charlottesville.
- I am developing/renovating a house I’ve bought for accommodating vegetarians in Charlottesville, Virginia – “Camillia Bagh”

Human ecology in action:
I’ve done extended work as a sustainability and LEED (Green Building) Consultant. I’ve owned and run a small design firm specializing in use of green materials and systems.

Swimming in Frenchman Bay.
Considerations for prospective students:
COA is a place to clarify values and align them with one’s Self and the life of the Earth. COA is also a fabulous place to learn job / career skills such as research, design, composition, and the use of the brain.
