Sal is a Board certified architect in the State of New York. He earned the Bachelor of Architecture degree, Cum Laude, from New York Institute of Technology in 2012. He received a thesis recognition award for his project on reviving the boardwalk at Jones Beach State Park on Long Island. He then went on to gain professional experience at AML Architecture, where he worked on the design of some of the highest quality traditional and modern houses in the Hamptons.

His inspiration comes from a wide range of sources: from Classical architecture, to Colonial Williamsburg, to European modernists like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Alvar Aalto. He believes that architecture should be a continuation of the past into the future and uses the skills of observation and sketching to inform his design process. He continues to study at the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and the Grand Central Atelier.
