When I looked at the calendar and realized it was my turn to write a blog post, I was stunned. Oh my gosh! January 2014. My 40th anniversary at Pulliam Morris. 40 YEARS!! How could it be? How has the time passed so quickly? I can’t possibly have worked here that long. Yet, here I am…getting ready to start another year and making long range plans.
There is a lot to be said for 40 years of experience. I have had wonderful and varied projects in my career. Large and small. Simple and complicated. Some lasted for three years and some a very short time. Many are out of town jobs. Some of my best experiences have been with other architects and builders who all bring their own expertise. Together, we form a team to complete the job at hand. The clients I have worked with are always the best part. New friends.
I began my career as an assistant to my uncle, Jack Pulliam, and one of the first houses I worked on was for the Baker family. The house was sold recently, and just before Christmas, I met with the new owners of that same house to begin planning a renovation. 40 years later, and I am back to the beginning. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the next 40! It sure has been fun. Looking forward to more!!
