office manager
originally from the far reaches of roanoke, warren is currently a local in blacksburg. having studied religion and culture at virginia tech, he loves to learn about people and who they are. fueled by this passion for people, he often finds himself leaning into international interests, which brought him to live abroad in the netherlands as well as the philippines. but he also has a soft spot and heavy intention toward design and architecture. he couples his attention to the details of peoples together with his observation and enjoyment of design to help understand what impacts the hearts and minds of those around.
outside of working at the firm, he loves being a part of his church and his community, serving in various ways like working with the youth. he enjoys many a story, in written, visual, or playable forms. he loves partaking in and sharing good food and, if the weather allows, he would not pass up an opportunity to ski down a mountainside. he is also an avid fan of anything purple.
