ANDREW KRIVANEK ARCHITECT AIA | NCARB | WELL AP
To whom it may concern,
I have had the pleasure of working and knowing Andrew Krivanek for quite a few years now. Andrew has been an amazing talent, that not only can quickly come up with design solutions, but then can coordinate and then follow through in construction documents. If I had one person to take with me on starting my own firm, Andrew, hands down would be that person. Andrew is a person of high Character, Honesty and Integrity. Andrew quickly would have the clients trust and always understood what needed to be done, form Client and Architects best interest. Andrew is well rounded in the profession from Concept, Design and Production. Andrew is highly organized and disciplined and can respond faster than anyone I’ve worked with in my 27 years of Architecture.
These are Challenging times, but I know Andrew will thrive on his qualities that make him who he is.
Please do not hesitate to call me on any further information I can give you about Andrew.
Sincerely,
Ben

It is with great pleasure that I strongly recommend Andrew Krivanek for your architectural position.
I am Randall Braun, Senior Project Manager and Principal at Walter P Moore. I have over 23 years’ experience at Walter P Moore working as a structural engineer and managing many large and challenging sports and venue projects. During my tenure I have had the pleasure of working for and with many architectural firms and young architects. Without a doubt Andrew is right at the top of my list of favorite architects to solve difficult problems and meet deadlines.
In the past 5 years I managed the structural engineering portion of several projects to which Andrew was assigned as lead coordinator of the architectural team. In each case I found Andrew’s collaborative approach to problem solving extremely helpful in allowing our team to meet deadlines with minimal re-work. In particular I appreciated that Andrew often presented potential solutions to coordination issues and would listen and incorporate recommendations from subconsultants. All of this was done in a highly digital environment and often under tight budget and schedule circumstances.
My first significant experience with Andrew was during the design and construction of a new amphitheater and practice facility for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Due to the extremely tight design and construction schedule the entire structural design package was required to be delivered far ahead of the architectural package. Many young architects in this situation do not understand that an early structural package also relies on early coordination and smart decision-making by the architectural team. However Andrew recognized this situation immediately and focused his effort entirely around making sure our package was a success which often required long-hours and mastery of the digital work-flow around BIM. Without this type of can-do attitude there is no way the deadline would have been met.
In subsequent projects at Arrowhead Stadium, Andrew has consistently proven to be extremely productive and results-oriented. When I see that Andrew has been assigned to one of my projects I know immediately it will go well. This level of reliability is extremely valuable in my profession and often rare. It is safe to say that if I was to start my own AE practice someday Andrew is exactly the kind of candidate upon which I would build.
If you would like to hear more of my experiences with Andrew please do not hesitate to contact me. If you decide to bring Andrew into your firm you will understand very quickly that you made the right decision.
Sincerely,
Randall Braun, P.E. / Principal

To whom it may concern,
I am pleased to provide this letter recommending Andrew Krivanek be given significant consideration for a position with your company/firm.
Andrew is the total package and is uniquely skilled to efficiently transition between concept design phases and production efforts. He is a complete architect, and able to function very highly in every facet of this profession. His contributions to any project are consistently elevated and meaningful - whether with design ideas, or knowledge of documentation and details, or for the rigors and demands of project construction activity. Andrew is incredibly reliable and is an asset to any project he touches.
Andrew is extremely well liked and respected by all of his co-workers. He has the ability to work well independently but is also team oriented and works collaboratively with ease. Andrew is loyal to every team member and strives to produce and create the best work for any project, it’s respective client, and as a result - his employer.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have known and worked with Andrew Krivanek for more than five years. Andrew and I began our business relationship while working together on the Jacksonville Jaguars Indoor Practice Facility (IPF) in Jacksonville, FL. During that time, he was very responsive to team communications, as well as being proactive in keeping the project moving forward smoothly by coordinating the design among the many sub-consultants on the project.
After the Jaguars IPF project, Andrew and I continued working together on an athletic football training facility for the University of Texas-San Antonio (UTSA). His work ethic and coordination skills continued to be a value to the team during the design phase of that project.
Andrew is professional and shows that he really cares about his projects. Between keeping in good communication with the team and putting his heart into his work, he was a great collaborator.
I have also spent time with Andrew outside of the office and out on the golf course. Even in a non-work/non- project environment, Andrew is a friendly, likeable and conscientious person.
Andrew is a hardworking and self-motivated individual. He can achieve anything he sets his mind to. He is an asset to any company that hires him.
