“MSKTD is a unique place to work. I have been fortunate to work here for over 40 years. The same things that attracted me originally to architecture are still true today— listening to a client’s needs, understanding what they’re trying to accomplish, and responding with a building solution that can be completed on time and on budget. For us to compete in today’s competitive market and be successful, it means we must communicate effectively, be intentional, and be honest and respectful. If we can do that well, our clients will continue to rely on us as their design and engineering partner.”
Gary co-leads MSKTD’s in-house higher education and academic group on projects ranging from renovation work to state-of-the-art new buildings on main and regional college and university campuses. He is also responsible for overseeing our K-thru-12 market.
Gary’s management style allows the project budget, scope, and schedule to facilitate the best design solution for our clients.

“Figuring out my client’s goals and the reasons for the goals, and then finding a way to meet and exceed those needs by navigating many variables, motivates me. That includes seeing the big picture, managing, designing, communicating, planning - and consistent authenticity.”
The built environment has always fascinated Brent, and he has continuously expanded in knowledge and honed his design and professional skills. By 1999 (after already excelling at historic, community, and other forms of architecture) it was clear that he also had a considerable passion for production and industry. Now, as a leader of MSKTD and of its nationally recognized Hygienic Design team, he helps our clients achieve their goals, producing something substantial for the good of their business, the community, and our national economy.
