About Me
UNLEASH YOUR INNER PRACTITIONERD!!
Howdy, Hey There & Hello, my name is Montez McCrary, and I have a Master of Architecture from the University of Texas at San Antonio and a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University. I’m an experienced Architectural Intern/Professor/Disciple, freelance Architectural/Graphic Designer, Gaming/Tech Connoisseur, History Aficionado, Professional Wrestling Enthusiast, Texan via Hawaii, Texas Aggie (Class of 2007; WHOOP!), San Antonio Spurs fan, and HUGE NERD!!
What? I though that’s how we’re supposed to introduce ourselves when we’re about to tell our life story and attempt to be honest about ourselves. Oh well…
Coming from a childhood were I was regularly ridiculed for having a severe stuttering problem and asthma (yeah, kids can be cruel), as well as having an enthusiastic interest in many thing related to science, technology, history, art, and various things that were not trendy or deemed “popular” or “in” at the time. I didn’t become comfortable in my skin until my junior year of high school, and didn’t come into the realization and self-proclamation of being a “nerd” until I was in graduate school.
“My idea is to present an image to children that it is good to be intellectual, and not to care about the peer pressures to be anti-intellectual. I want every child to turn into a nerd – where that means someone who prefers studying and learning to competing for social dominance, which can unfortunately cause the downward spiral into social rejection.”
–M.I.T. professor Gerald Sussman, from The New York Times (1993)

Where is the “like” button
?
It seems I can only put like buttons on posts instead of pages. But your desire to “LIKE” this page will be noted; duly noted, in fact.
Maybe pages are not meant to be likable ;o)
Hello Montez, thank you for mentioning our new, low iron-content channel glass at this year’s AIA show.
No problem! It was definitely one of the most interesting materials I ever came across in the 10 years I’ve been studying architecture.
this is great
so cool way to go defiantly likeable
Thank you very VERY much!
I like this, you did not mention you use all the pop cycle sticks and toilet and paper towel rolls to make things, also
Ah yes, those were AWESOME times! Still like repairing and making make-shift things every now-and-then.
I am glad that I found your blog through our mutual friend, and have now followed it! You seem to be pretty awesome! ^.^
As to the matter of the game of the LP series, toss me an email at my gmail account listed on my site and we can get to discussing it!
Hey Montez…if you have a spare minute, we would love to hear your feeback on our blog
