Cody's journey began on the vibrant South Side of Chicago, where his innate passion for sketching and design ignited a fascination with both the arts and sciences. Initially pursuing Civil Engineering at UIUC, Cody's artistic inclination ultimately led him to discover his true calling in architecture.

After graduating, Cody embarked on his professional career as an Architectural Designer in Chicago, immersing himself in a diverse array of projects spanning recreational, residential, multi-family, commercial, retail, and hospitality sectors. However, driven by a thirst for knowledge and new experiences, Cody made the bold decision to pursue further education abroad.

In 2021, Cody embarked on a transformative journey to Valencia, Spain, where he earned his Master of Architecture degree while exploring the rich cultures of Europe. His travels took him through Portugal, Italy, Finland, Germany, and even South Korea, broadening his horizons and deepening his appreciation for architectural diversity.

Before returning home, Cody felt the pull of adventure once more, leading him to Houston, TX in 2022. There, he continued his architectural journey with ARCO, eager to contribute his expertise to the city's dynamic landscape.

Outside of his professional pursuits, Cody finds solace and strength in the gym, indulging his passion for weightlifting. He also enjoys unwinding with movies, TV shows, and sports, often accompanied by friends and family. Whether sharing drinks at a bar, attending social events, or simply relaxing at home, Cody embraces life's moments with enthusiasm and warmth.
