Andy’s journey into landscape architecture began with summer tree care and landscape work, where he developed a deep appreciation for design and the integration of the natural and built environments. As a founding member and principal of PDS, he oversees project development activities, including site inventory, site analysis, planning, design development, environmental permitting, recreation master planning, and construction documentation.
​
With a strong passion for sustainability, Andy applies his extensive knowledge of arboriculture to preserve trees during site development and construction. His professional portfolio includes completed designs for clients such as Saint Louis University, Laclede’s Landing Redevelopment Corporation, the Saint Louis Zoo, and the Cities of Webster Groves, Kirkwood, and Brentwood, among many others. Outside of work, Andy enjoys listening to music, working on classic cars, and fishing.
