Barry Seiler joined John Milner Architects in 2007 as Project Architect. He holds degrees in Architecture and Polymer Science. He entered the building industry as a production chemist, afterward pursuing a parallel tract of architectural training and apprenticeship in the cabinetmaking trade. Twelve years of professional woodworking culminated in ownership and management of a custom furniture studio, specializing in restoration of antiques, followed by a season of building timber-framed structures. Barry joined the firm after managing projects for a leading preservation architect in the southeast region, and his technical training and broad experience have informed preservation work on many nationally significant historic buildings. During his free time, Barry can often be found wondering the Susquehanna River gorge, exercising his passion for nature photography, or photo-documenting explorations of ruined ancient cities, colonial centers, and natural wonders of Old Mexico.
