Principal Rick Rounds, AIA Principal with JWDA since 1994 Rick Rounds is a native San Diegan who moved with his family to a small, woodsy resort town in Idaho when he was a child. He realized early that the construction process interested him, but it was a drafting class in high school that solidified his interest and aptitude for architecture. Working two jobs during the summer and part time jobs through the school year while obtaining his 5-year degree at the University of Idaho, he never forgot Southern California people, culture, weather, and activities of his youth. The day after his 1987 graduation, Rick migrated south to a job opportunity in Palm Springs. One year later he returned to his San Diego roots and began his career at JWDA. As a Principal and Senior Project Manager, Rick’s work ethic endures, and empowers him to provide coordination in all project phases, from programming through the completion of a contract. His expertise comprises master planning, site planning, schematic design for new construction, repair and renovations to working drawings, and construction management and administration. His sector experience includes hospitality, residential, mixed-use, governmental, and institutional projects. A seasoned manager, Rick is equally adept in communications with clients, jurisdictional agencies, and all design and construction associates. Education: - B.
