EntreArchitect Podcast with Mark R. LePage EntreArchitect // Gābl Media

Shifting the Housing Industry Toward the Value of DesignA quarter century of experience in the world of design and construction comes to bear on Toby Witte's work. German by heritage and upbringing, born in Peru, Toby has had the privilege to study architecture, building science, drafting, and construction in Germany and in the USA.
Between various employments with architect, engineering, and construction firms, he graduated cum laude from the School of Architecture at UNCC. He ran his previous design/build companies Dialect Design and Qube11 for over a decade until he founded Wittehaus.
In 2004 he received the Medal & Henry Adams Certificate of Merit by The American Institute of Architects. And in 2018 the 3rd People's Choice Award of the North Carolina Modernist Houses Matsumoto Prize.
To learn, grow, and contribute Toby has been an active member of the American Institute of Architects, the National Organization of Minority Architects, Brick & Wonder, EntreArchitect ASG Mastermind, and the German American Chambers of Commerce.
When Toby parks his pencil he lets himself be sucked in by a vibrant family life centered around his wife, an early education teacher, and their three powerhouse daughters. He cooks, reads, travels, plays two chords on the guitar and loves a good beer.

The Permit ProblemWith more than 20 years in the construction industry, Joe has seen it all and discovered where the problems exist. Building department officials often misconstrue their own rules and implement their own decisions instead of the applicable codes. Joe has learned to work through these permit problems and uses his experience to help many firms solve their own permit nightmares.
Joe has a passion for helping others and is an advocate for building owners, architects, and builders to ensure they are being treated fairly by the government entities that review and approve their work. He developed the Permit Problem Guide to help professionals stand up for their projects and defend their work from undue scrutiny.

Sharing a New Paradigm for the Profession of ArchitectureJared was raised in New England (Connecticut), educated in Texas (Rice University), and worked in Minnesota for eight years before moving to Seattle, Washington in 2014. Jared is a licensed architect in the state of Washington.
Jared founded Shoegnome, LLC in 2010 to promote the use of Archicad and BIM in residential firms. In 2015, Jared evolved Shoegnome into a hybrid of BIM consultancy and architecture firm.

If you haven’t watched one of Jared's Archicad videos, read one of his blog posts, or heard him speak at a user group, conference, or webinar, you've probably never googled an Archicad question or attended an Archicad event. Since 2015, Jared has become increasingly passionate and obsessed with sharing the Shoegnome Open Template for Archicad.
