Episode Synopsis
Dan Montgomery is an Associate and Senior Project Architect at MSA Design.
Dan is a native of Lisbon, Ohio - a "small town in the woods" in Northeast Ohio. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning (DAAP).
Dan's career began with institutional and civic work, and he joined MSA over 12 years ago where he has risen into Senior Leadership and is a key Project Architect on many of the firms' Civic, Educational, and Sport projects.
Dan shares his passion for architecture through teaching those newer to the profession by sharing his experiences and implementations that made him successful. Dan believes that “when it comes to design, the best designs are often the simplest. Every design move is done with reason and purpose to support the overarching concept.”
Dan is a Member of the Planning and Zoning Committee, a Member of the Pedestrian Safety Committee, and holds a Director position as a Board Member of the Northside Community Council. Outside of work, you can find Dan tending to his small garden, using fresh herbs to create Italian-inspired dishes, eagerly anticipating the next time he can travel through the streets of Italy.
Dan and his husband Brett reside in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Northside.
