Throughout college and as he worked at architectural firms throughout the Southeast, Michael imagined he would start a firm of his own one day. Upon returning to Mississippi, he reached out to his friend and former college classmate, Jamie Wier, and started the firm in 2009. Michael is driven by the relationships he builds with clients, while turning their ideas and dreams into reality. In addition to his degree in Architecture from Mississippi State University, Michael received a Bachelors in Business Administration and a minor in Fine Arts from Millsaps College in 1998. He and his family attend Galloway Methodist Church, and he enjoys spending time at concerts, sporting events, and on the tennis court.

Growing up, Eric worked for his grandfather, who was a brick layer, as well as his father, a builder. Those experiences, combined with his attraction to art and passion for design, made architecture a natural fit. After finishing architecture school at Mississippi State University, Eric moved to Atlanta where he worked and managed projects for 10+ years at firms that are well-known nationally and internationally. Now, he has taken the reigns to head up WBA’s Nashville office. Eric’s 3D design skills allow clients to vividly experience their concept through detailed renderings and video animations. In his free time, he enjoys painting, drawing, and building furniture. Eric, his wife Rachel, and their three sons are active at Church of the City in Franklin, Tennessee, and enjoy traveling, snow skiing, sailing, and hiking.

Ryan works best when he can attack a problem from the project level and work his way down. He enjoys motivating teams toward a focused, quality solution while keeping team members loose and lighthearted. When he’s not designing buildings at work, he’s reading or designing and building furniture at home.

Molly enjoys working for a firm where the staff is truly supportive and collaborative as they work for a common goal, the client’s satisfaction.

Molly enjoys working with our diverse group of clients to create built spaces that suit their needs and desires. She enjoys the broad range of project types we are privileged to work on here at WBA.

When she isn’t designing, you can find her running or spending time with her husband Grant and pup, Henry.

Parker is drawn to the diverse projects he gets to manage at Wier Boerner Allin.

With a passion for serving clients with excellent service, thoughtful architecture, and authentic collaboration, Amy is committed to bettering the community where she lives and works.

Amy is passionate about design integration in K-12 curriculum and learning environments, and enjoys mentoring and teaching students about the built environment.  At home, Amy enjoys sewing and painting, and is devoted to the hardest job of all – motherhood.

Tyler combines a hands on construction background with formal architectural training to collaborate with her team and client stakeholders.

Her favorite part of the design process is the growth and transformation the design takes as it evolves. When she is not at work, she enjoys movie nights, outdoor adventures with her husband, and painting.
