Phil and Sammie

After a 32-year career in architectural acoustics consulting, mostly with a single firm, I am now focusing on a few specific areas that I can serve well as an individual (see What I Do). My goal is to become a trusted resource for architects and building owners, helping to formulate questions about acoustical goals and design strategies, and to focus on key issues that have big impacts on quality of experience for end users. I want to help use time and budgets (yours, your consultants’, and your clients’) more effectively.

My experience includes acoustical consulting in facilities for:

• Higher-education and research

• K-12 education

• Performing arts

• Audio/video recording and production

• Corporate/high-tech work

• Healthcare

• Multi-family housing

Perhaps the clearest takeaway from this experience is that it’s important to know how to solve technical problems, but equally important to communicate solutions in ways that facilitate incorporating them into drawings and specifications, and ultimately, into finished buildings.
