David Anderson, AIA is a well-rounded architect with an inherent ability to translate a concept into built reality.  He works hard on all his projects to discover the sweet spot between design, functionality, and budget.  When asked if there was a project that contributed to his growth not only as a designer but also as a leader, he referenced the Texas Rangers Urban Youth Academy project.  Throughout the process of designing the Academy, David developed a close rapport with the client and community leaders by involving the public in the design process, which enhanced his ability to facilitate designs through the city approval and construction process.  For David, designing the Academy was a deeply rewarding project – personally and professionally.  He prides himself in working through all phases of design and construction with the owner and design team.  As a team leader, David inspires team members to think creatively and utilize technology to improve all facets of the design process.  David also serves the architectural community by contributing his talent and experience as an active member of the AIA Fort Worth Design Awards Committee.  These are the characteristics that make him an indispensable member of the SBL team, and we are proud to announce his promotion to Senior Associate.
