Evan’s passion for healthcare design is rooted in a desire to create healing spaces for patients and their families. He is able to create award-winning results using his natural ability to drive open communication and collaboration through all phases of the planning and design process. Evan also brings a strong understanding of and aptitude for technology to the role, which has helped both Altus and the clientele it serves.

PRINCIPAL | SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER

Dwayne Meyer

AIA, NCARB

Dwayne Meyer spent many days as a child in the sandbox. He and his two older brothers would create sheds from scrap lumber and boards to house their toy farm implements, each staking out a corner of the expansive, sandy area where they would pass the time. The boys’ “farms” were connected by roads,  bridges and culverts. Ponds and reservoirs were added via the garden hose.

Dwayne didn’t know it at the time, but that early “rural planning experience” via the sandbox, and his ability to appreciate and adapt to any circumstance, led to his interest in a career in architecture.  Today, with more than 20 years of healthcare architecture experience to his credit, Dwayne fills an essential role as a Senior Project Manager for the Altus team. From small-renovations and facility upgrades to large-scale health care system planning and design, Dwayne brings his tenacious approach to “getting the job done right” to every project he tackles.

DESIGN LEADER

Scott Nordstrom

AIA, LEED AP

Scott Nordstrom has extensive experience in planning, designing and illustrating a wide variety of project types including site analysis and layouts, healthcare facilities, retail, schools and renovations. He designs and illustrates the project site, floor plans, exterior and interior elevations in a cohesive way that is easily understood and appreciated by every client. Scott is an excellent communicator and project leader; his work allows project owners to easily visualize concepts, enabling them to make quicker decisions and keep projects moving forward. He is able to tap into both analytical and artistic skill sets; Scott is among the few experienced architects who still create hand-drawn, watercolor renderings to help clients visualize design concepts.

Scott has always enjoyed creating and building and was able to learn on the job by helping his father with construction projects.  He is known for being generous with his time both on and off the job. Most recently, Scott designed and built a rustic-themed wedding barn for his daughter’s wedding and when he isn’t working at Altus or volunteering his time at church or in the community, he is generally involved in a variety of projects for the a seasonal tree farm that has been in his family for generations. Scott is a volunteer for the Open Door Mission, assists with Omaha Rapid Response-Disaster Relief, and has spoken (through a signer) at the Iowa School for the Deaf and local Community Colleges about the architectural profession and processes.

Chris Peterson

Chris Peterson is a Senior Project Coordinator at Altus with extensive healthcare design experience. His passion for healthcare design comes naturally to Chris; it matches the passion he brings to just about every challenge he faces. At Altus, Chris actively leads the facility planning and design efforts, bringing ongoing problem-solving skills to the forefront to ensure every project moves smoothly through the process from design to construction. Chris is a skilled communicator and detailed organizer. He has a unique ability to identify opportunities, as well as potential project constraints, creating time- and cost-saving solutions for our clients.

It should come as no surprise that Chris is inspired by people who are honest, loyal and have a strong work ethic. This is the way Chris lives his own life both on and off the job. From his earliest job delivering papers, to being an electrician apprentice as a teen, to pursuing a career in landscape architecture, hard work has been a hallmark for Chris throughout his life.

When he isn’t working, he loves the challenges of outdoor activities like hunting, downhill skiing, hiking, and wake surfing.

While working his first job delivering the Omaha World Herald, Doug dreamed of growing up to be a professional athlete. Few know it, but Doug was a power lifter in college (touting a personal best bench press of 435 lbs.) and found inspiration from Christian power lifter, Paul Anderson. Lucky for Altus and our clients, Doug ended up taking the architecture route. Today, he channels that strength and athletic talent into winning designs and plans for our clients. In his spare time, Doug is an avid classic car enthusiast, enjoys riding his bicycle, and spending time with his family.

DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTING

Gabriela Wulff-Marcano

Gabriela Wulff-Marcano’s  accounting career began quite early – at age five, in fact. At this young age, Gabi received a typewriter from her father as a gift and, combined with the 10-key adding machine he had on his desk, Gabi would play “office” day in and day out. By age seven, she received yet another present from her father – her own electric cash register. In addition to occupying her time, these gifts were the foundations for what would become a life-long passion for and pursuit of numbers, as well as a career in accounting.

Gabi was born in and grew up in Venezuela; an idyllic upbringing and her spunky personality blend nicely to foster the outgoing, adventurous spirit that is evident the very first time you meet Gabi. As the youngest of eight, she and her siblings (four sisters and three brothers) spent many summers at Puerto La Cruz, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. While in college, she worked as a receptionist at one of the largest hospitals in Caracas. Today, she is proud to live and work in the United States where “total freedom” is something she treasures and does not take for granted.

The same passion she brings to her role as Altus’ Director of Accounting is also found in her personal life. Along with her husband Aquiles, daughter Clarisa and their dog Chico, Gabi enjoys exploring  – mountains, rivers, beaches or deserted islands – they are always ready to embark on another adventure together.
