As an Associate, William is often sought out for his depth of knowledge in applying multiple required Codes and Standards to projects to help facilitate with meeting the most restrictive Codes, while promoting the concepts of universal design.

Clients and peers alike reach out for his strong problem-solving skills and technical understanding of the barrier-free design requirements of Building Code, the AODA, and other best practice standards.
