I have worked on many successful projects with Dave as the project architect and project manager. Jeff Rangle, Architect, Greater Boston (781) 831 4688 I did contract work for Mr. Rangle while I was beginning my graduate school curriculum. The projects consisted of Autocad drafting and some design work on both residential and commercial projects. The commercial space was focused on small offices and front end retail. I did this work with Mr. Rangle in the Spring of 2010. I also have been working with Mr. Rangle on the design of a Sept 11 Memorial incorporating a piece of steel salvaged from Ground Zero. The work for this project is as a volunteer effort for the Jeff Coombs Memorial Foundation.
