A self-professed lover of knowledge, Breadan is always looking for something new to learn. His lifelong goal is to use these skills to make a difference that matters. Ways to create different buildings for multiple purposes, what the particular spaces inside could be used for, looking at how they'd been used, and what has influenced that development—these processes overwhelm Breadan's thoughts without once feeling like work. Exploring new worlds and all they contain are what fascinate him about these exercises.
