Member Spotlight

Ed Harris AHC, CML, CDT, LEED-AP

of Dorma Kaba

Provide a short bio: Grew up in a small town in Upstate NY near the Finger Lakes. Left college to become a locksmith, alarm tech & safecracker. Yes, my fingerprints are on file with the Fed because of my training. Then off for a job in the Caribbean, where I eventually opened my own business, married and had 3 kids. Took lots of stateside trips to train for and pass the Certified Master Locksmith and Architectural Hardware Consultant exams. In 1996, hurricanes blew us to Arizona where I worked as a project manager/spec writer. My wife passed from breast cancer in 2006. (Call me Mr. Mom.) Recession drove me to Oklahoma to work. Two kids (adults finally) are still in living Arizona and one moved home to the Virgin Islands. Working with dormakaba for two years as a Specification Consultant on Hardware, all-glass doors, automatic swinging and sliding doors, revolving doors, glass walls, turnstiles, electronic hospitality locks, electrified hardware and access control.

NEWS OF INTEREST TO OUR MEMBERS

Charrette Venture Group Invests in Rogue Design

Charrette Venture Group announced today its newest investment in Rogue Design, an architecture and interior design firm based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

As a multi-faceted design firm led by three partners, Rogue Design provides architecture, interior design, planning, and visualization services. Principal, Angie Dickerson, IIDA, NCIDQ, is passionate about the fact that Rogue works to keep their clients' interests at the heart of every project. She is excited to keep this as a core value while growing their firm, sharing that she looks forward to working with Charrette Venture Group to learn the most optimal strategies to make this happen.

Keith Holman, AIA, LEED GA believes the new partnership will give the firm a wide array of tools it might not otherwise have been able to access in order to create, grow and maintain a thriving business. "We're like any other small business. We have a lot of balls in the air and it is often difficult to know how, and where, to spend your resources," he says, "Charrette Venture Group brings a wider set of hands to help us build our business."

Founded in 2014, Charrette Venture Group is an investment group focused on the design space. It was started by licensed architect and successful entrepreneur, Matt Ostanik. The firm partners with growth-oriented practices to build strong, profitable design businesses. Rogue Design is the seventh firm in Charrette Venture Group's portfolio.

"Architecture is my passion," says Rogue principal Kenneth B. Dennis AIA, LEED AP, a champion for providing thoughtful design solutions to Rogue's clients' problems, "I love how we impact the communities in which we practice to help create healthy, sustainable places to live, work, and play. This partnership will help us achieve this vision, and remain profitable while doing it."
