The son of a data entry clerk and a part-time carpenter, Scott grew up with a small hammer in one hand and a mini T-square in the other: ready at a moment’s notice to plan and build the next tree fort. Through fort-building and other related research during elementary, middle, and high school, he discovered that things can be designed and drawn in much less time than it takes to build them. Thus, he realized architecture would allow him to cover more ground than carpentry. After completing a B.S. in Architecture at The Ohio State University and a Master’s in Architecture from the University of Michigan, Scott set out to leave his own mark on the built environment and began gaining experience working for a series of architecture firms, each specializing in a different approach to the field. In 1994, Scott started his own firm beginning with a single new house project. Scott ensures that Dangerous Architects, P.C., provides an energetic, hands-on approach to every project under the careful eyes of an architect/builder. In his spare time, Scott enjoys teaching his two children how to butcher wood with the best of them.

After graduating from Lawrence Technological University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Architecture, Matt was eager to put his newly-learned and newly-honed skills to use in the real world. He joined Dangerous Architects in the Spring of 2017 and moved to nearby Ypsilanti from his hometown of Fraser to be closer to the firm and the city of Ann Arbor. Matt has always had a passion for architecture and design; With his desire to make a difference in the world using architecture and his undying love of history – he plans to pursue a Master’s degree in Architecture and Art History – Matt hopes to combine these in his career later in life. His creativity extends beyond the world of architecture; he acts in his friend’s filmmaking endeavors, plays the drums with a decent sense of skill, and is attempting to write a novel.

Lauren, a rising Junior at University of Michigan, has been working at Dangerous Architects since the spring of 2018. She is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in civil engineering. Lauren enjoys the challenges that come with math and science, but also thrives in creative outlets like writing, drawing, and playing piano. With her passion for the environment, eye for aesthetics, and intrigue with the structural makeup of buildings, Lauren hopes to one day work with engineers and architects in order to make the built environment a safer, more sustainable, and more efficient place.

Maggie is a recent graduate of the Taubman College of Architecture, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Architecture in the class of 2021. Eager to get some experience in the field, she joined Dangerous Architects in the Fall of 2020. In the future she plans to pursue a Master’s Degree in Architecture. Her passion for architecture began in her youth, building tree forts in the backyard, box forts in the basement, and designing dream homes with colored pencils and construction paper. As she got older, what really drew her to pursue architecture was the great potential of it to be a tool for social and environmental justice, and positively impact people’s lives. Maggie enjoys spending her free time singing, playing guitar and ukulele, playing board games and spending time outdoors.
