associate decree

January 7th 2014 Comments: 2 Topics: , , ,

We’re excited and proud to announce a new partner here at McAlpine Tankersley. No, it’s not Barbara Bush (though we wish her well in her recovery) but the fellow to her right, David Baker.
208387_10150164468906026_5570150_nDavid joins Bobby McAlpine, Greg Tankersley, Chris Tippett and John Sease as a leader here in our “factory of original thinking” (Bobby’s fond phrase for our office).

David, a native Canadian, began working as a summer student intern and joined the firm right after he completed his Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1998. Soon afterward, he married his wife, Carol, and began to raise a family. Three children, Isabella, Davis, and Lily, call him Dad.  He craves the outdoors and any extra time not devoted to his job, family or church, is spent either on the field, court or green. David’s endless energy and creativity over the years have been made evident in the projects he’s helmed, some of which are pictured below.
