Though many have already gotten word of this we wanted to just post a formal and informal Thank you! It is with mixed feelings and many congratulations that we announce the retirement of our beloved and much appreciated “M” in HCM Architects. Below we leave his parting message to all his friends and family:
Dear Friends of HCM Architects, Retirement is about reflection....
When I look back at almost 26 years of HCM Architects, I am proud, delighted, and thankful. Mostly thankful.
Thankful for the trust that our clients put in our abilities. Thankful for truly enjoying our work.
Thankful for the great relationships we have created.
HCM Architects was founded on a simple guiding philosophy by the three founding partners.
“ Provide creative ideas, exemplary services, treat people well and good things will happen.”
We have stayed true to this philosophy and indeed many good things have happened. HCM Architects is a great place to work and has successfully transitioned to being led by the next generation. I am very proud and delighted by this.
Retirement is about looking forward....
I look forward to doing more of what I enjoy.....without having to be back to work on Mondays! And of course, I will fly fish for trout.
To paraphrase Rober Traver:
“I fish, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant and not nearly so much fun.”
It truly has been a pleasure working with all of you. I look forward to staying in touch.
