Meet Jimmy Edwards

From the time that we first purchased our property on Baileywick, Jimmy Edwards has been working with us to make our campus a reality. Jimmy and his firm, Edwards and Associates, have served as as our architects from our original site design, through its many iterations to our current campus. Our layout and the way it will use the natural beauty or our woods and pond is due to the countless times Jimmy walked all over our land and, in a sense, let it tell him what it wanted to be.

But to credit Jimmy as our site's designer is to only scratch the surface of his service to Trinity. Jimmy has spent hours and hours walking our plans through the various departments in the city. He's worked with virtually every contractor on the site and overseen and tweaked their work to see that we get the best result possible. He's patiently explained various building and beaurocratic processes to me and the board to help us make good decisions.

He's been very generous with his time, often meeting with me after hours and on weekends to resolve last minute issues. For example, a couple weeks ago, we were walking around a local school's modular buildings at 10pm to check some ideas we were discussing about how to do ramps and decks.

Finally, Jimmy has been a good advocate for the school. When working to build good will with our neighbors, Jimmy visited many of them door to door to answer their questions and explain our plans. When our time came for a public meeting with the city on our site plan, we only had one neighbor present and she came to speak in support of our project. I believe this remarkable result is due to Jimmy's kind and patient nature.

Thank you, Jimmy, for all you are doing to help make a home for Trinity Academy!
