The existing home is set on a 40 acre site that has a beautiful pond, barn for the families horses and they are looking to add a new space where they can have larger gatherings, cook outdoors and enjoy time with friends and family.

John Brown, AIA, CSI, NCARB shared thisGood topic of discussion. How many of you changed employers in the past two years to level up?John Brown, AIA, CSI, NCARB shared thisLast summer, I wrote about the huge salary bumps employers were offering to new talent. I interviewed one employee who got a 30% increase after he made the move to a new company. The data tells the story: a typical job switcher earned an 8.4% raise in August 2022, compared with a 5.6% increase for remaining on the job, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. But in recent months, job seekers aren't seeing those same premiums. In March 2023, job switchers’ wage growth fell to 7.3%, while those who stayed with employers received a 5.9% increase. Now, some employees say they regret not making a career move sooner when they could have taken advantage of those enormous increases in pay. https://lnkd.in/di8pq-rZLanding a New Job Doesn’t Come With the Pay Raise It Used toLanding a New Job Doesn’t Come With the Pay Raise It Used to

John Brown, AIA, CSI, NCARB shared thisI get asked this question all the time. I feel that there are a lot of people that really would like to start their own architecture business but have so many questions or just not sure where to start. It's definitely a lot to think about. How many of you have considered going on your own? Feel free to reach out with questions about the process or what things you think may be holding you back from starting your own firm. #architecture #business #howtoarchitectJohn Brown, AIA, CSI, NCARB shared thisIt’s #smallbusinessappreciation week! I’ve been asked by other engineers in various stages of their careers “how do you start an engineering firm?” I’m not certain I’m fully qualified to give the answer, but here’s some things that have helped me in various stages: • Early or later in your career: ✨You’re always building your network, whether you’re having lunch, at a farmers market, at a golf outing, wherever you are - learn to talk to people and be engaging ✨Never stop learning - job sites are my favorite place to learn because everything is exposed and it all comes down to brass tax when the pieces have to fit together • Early in your career: ✨Do everything - ask to go with the inspectors for a day, learn all you can about proposal writing, work on all parts of a project that you can even if it’s spread across different projects, sit in client meetings - especially the bad ones - talk to your draftsmen if you don’t do your own drafting, go to every software training available that supports your work. Get exposed to as much as possible because you need to know as much as possible if you’re going to go out on your own one day. ✨Don’t be in a hurry to get out on your own. Focus on developing your skills and your craft. The timing will come when, and if, it’s supposed to and for some of my colleagues it wasn’t until they were in their 50s or 60s. You may not be meant to own a business and that’s 100% ok. Don’t force it and don’t rush it. ✨Find a mentor - preferably more than one, both within and outside of your current organization. You do not know everything. And you will never know everything. The sooner you learn that and begin accommodating for that limitation, the better you will be in every facet of your life. • Later in your career: ✨Decide what type of firm you want to build - is it going to be as big as possible? Or, are you looking to have a small firm that allows you to have a good work-life balance? That answer will determine a lot of your path forward. My answer in my late 20s would have been very different than my answer is now in my mid-30s. • #tnsdesignandconsulting #womenentrepreneurs #civilengineering #outdoordesign #construction #engineering #design #interiordesign #sarasota #sarasotaflorida #bradenton #annamariaisland #siestakey #projectmanagement #residential #commercial #smallbusiness #localbusiness #womenengineers #wealthmindset #businessmindset #architecturalengineering #neverquit #havefaith #takerisks #businesstips #career • Photography by @bridgetlopezportraiture Logo branding by @graphicsbyjason

Working with CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc. & Alison Hussey & her dedicated team has been an adventure. Who ever thought an architect could design a fabulous Turtle Rehab Center?!? 🐢 Environmental Reporter Bridget Bruchalski at WINK News spoke with Rory from our Fort Myers office about how we approached this unusual project. The result is a strong, resilient facility for the turtles, one that is both highly complex and architecturally striking! Couldn't be prouder of Rory for his enthusiasm and ability to connect all the dots! #Sanibel Island - A sanctuary island, maintaining Florida's fragile eco-system one step at a time! #Buildingback #SmarterStrongerResilient

This is a 2-story, “upside-down” home that is 1800 sf with 2 beds and 2.5 baths. Living room and kitchen are upstairs while the bedrooms are below, on the backside of the home and open up to the amazing views. It features many large windows and is perfect for a small “cliffhanger” Lot that has a steep topography.

That’s how Jeff Bezos approaches his mornings, setting the tone for his legendary leadership style. Rather than diving straight into work, Bezos spends his early hours pottering around, sipping coffee, or simply enjoying a quiet morning. His first high-stakes meeting, where the real magic happens, kicks off at 10 a.m. Why? Because he knows that being fresh and focused is crucial for solving the toughest problems. Bezos has a golden rule: It’s not about how many decisions you make but how impactful they are. He believes making just three high-quality decisions a day can be transformative. His advice for leaders? Don't drown in busywork. Prioritize a few game-changing choices over endless minor tasks. That’s how you steer a ship, whether it’s Amazon or your own goals. What’s your take? Do you think fewer, smarter decisions could elevate your day?

John Brown, AIA, CSI, NCARB liked thisJohn Brown, AIA, CSI, NCARB liked thisThis is for the leaders and future leaders out there … I hope this really “hits” for some... Too many don’t realize real time and real elimination of fear are at the core of a great culture and a great culture creates great companies... For many of you, you have less than 20 employees… you should be able to ace this .. Share this with someone who owns a business or has a large team 💜❣️
