Roger Panek received his undergraduate education at Pratt Institute, and was awarded a Bachelor of Architecture degree. His apprenticeship was begun in New York City concurrent with graduate work.
Mr. Panek has been employed in architectural offices in New York City, Toronto and San Francisco. He advanced from Draftsman to Project Manager, working on a wide variety of building and construction types. His first architectural license was obtained in California.
