After almost 12 years as a Principal and the National Sports Practice Leader with Cannon Design, I decided it was time to seek new adventures and opportunities. Retaining my enthusiasm and excitement for sport architecture, I have formed a new sport design and consulting practice, JSA Sport Architecture Inc. With a number of long standing colleagues and sport design experts joining me in the new venture, the future is bright and exciting.
