He has been with the firm for 40 years and plans to continue working part-time supporting staff members on their projects until he retires. The new board includes Keith Dixon, Kevin Cole, Marcus Valentine, Steve Roth and Ed Champagne, who now serves as president. Employee-owned Architects West provides architectural and landscape architectural/land planning services, with offices in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
