He has a particular interest in sustainable design, having acted as Architect and Partner-In-Charge on SRM’s Passive House and LEED® accredited office and residential buildings.

In his day-to-day role, Edward oversees SRM’s Team to ensure each project’s design meets the unique needs of the Client, Users, and the Site. Edward uses his knowledge and experience to uncover possible concerns early on in a project, and work with the Project Team to find prompt and resourceful solutions.

He is the Past Chair of the Elora Centre for the Arts (a local charitable organization and unique community resource for the Arts), and Past Chair of the Groves Memorial General Hospital Governance Committee.
