Greenbrier Sporting Club Resident - 2006

“.... you will enjoy your working relationship with TAG. He is a talented individual but also appreciates talent in others, not letting ego get in the way of the project. This is a great gift and has brought nice results in the relationships we have had with TAG and his involvement with other design disciplines and specialists.“ He is an architect by trade but the scope of his contribution goes well beyond architecture. I find TAG most effective when I have had him lead the design team, directing the architect, interior designer, landscape designer, etc. The man simply works magic. He can work within budgets and produce results that have a sensitivity, a continuity, yet, make people say 'WOW'."

President, The Broadmoor – 2005

“Now that the Aspen Club is completed, you deserve a hearty congratulations on a job exceedingly well done. I still find it astounding that we first met less than a year and a half ago, and within that time have taken a project as large and as complicated as the Aspen Club from start to finish, on time and on budget. It truly has been and I hope will continue to be, a pleasure working with you. You deserve thanks on a number of fronts. Most of all, I want to thank you for all the times you told me to “trust you” and then proceeded to reward that trust with brilliantly creative solutions to the challenges of the Aspen Club. I also want to thank you for the times you convinced me to let you “make it beautiful” and then proceeded to do just that. In summary, you have done a masterful job here at the Aspen Club and you should be proud of how much you advanced the cause of this project and the Company.”
