He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1949 and from the Yale University Department of Architecture in 1953 where he studied under Eugene Nalle, Vincent Scully, Buckminster Fuller, and Louis Kahn among others. After serving three years on active duty in the United States Naval Reserve and three years as an apprentice at a Memphis architectural firm, he opened his own office in Nashville in 1960. He practiced architecture there for over thirty years working on residential, institutional and commercial projects. In the mid-sixties he was in the vanguard of the effort to revitalize and preserve historic buildings but at the same time never wavered from his devotion to the principles of contemporary architecture. During his career he received several national design awards. He resides in Nashville with his wife, Clara. They have three daughters and six grandchildren.view less
