Now that we've recovered from our loss, we're ready to announce that our longtime co-worker and pal, Kate, left us to pursue a MBA at UCLA. We applaud her ambition and know she'll do great things in grad school but dang it, we miss her! We're also jealous, Kate doesn't start school until September but needed the summer to "relax" and "travel." Whatever.

While no one will be able to fill her flip-flops we are pleaesd to announce a new addition to our office. He goes by the name, Mark Przekop, and let me tell you, this guy has a tremendous amount of experience - over 27 years in the architecture profession, 7 years of college, which includes a M.Arch from Cal Poly University, San Luis Obispo, and a B.A. in Architecture from Stanford. And, he's a licensed architect to boot. Mark joined RPA as a Project Architect, overseeing drawings on a number of our projects but mainly handling the Barn Lofts adaptive reuse project in Downtown L.A. It's a challenging one but also a very cool development - we're happy that Mark is here to guide it through completion. 

Mark is being shy about having his photo taken so I scoured the internet in search of someone he most closely resembles. I think this works......
