Following his diagnosis of two types of cancer, Brian Pittman sat down to reevaluate his life's goals. Working as an architect for 20 years on commercial projects, he realized it was time he pursue his real passion - designing homes. Pittman was able to trace this passion back to his childhood, when he was just 5 years old and playing with Legos.

Pittman describes the realization of his new pursuit, "when something like this happens, you have an awakening moment...I just decided to do what I really wanted to do, which was houses." Pittman has a positive outlook on the future of his career. He continues to do a broad range of architecture and has made the choice to only focus on the projects that speak to him.
