Deke is a man of uncompromising vision and a remarkable consensus builder. Whatever job title or volunteer leadership position he has held throughout his career, his job description has always been the same: to improve the process by which the built environment is created and managed. He is unfailingly calm and good-natured in the face of the most difficult technical, political, or cultural challenges, maintaining a laser-like focus on the ultimate goal, and quietly persevering when many others would have given up in frustration.
