Blake Dinkins
Job Captain
Blake has always enjoyed art, design, and history and took as many courses as possible during school. When deciding on a career path, architecture seemed like an option where he could combine those interests into a practical field. For the past 15 years, Blake has worked at small firms in North Dakota and South Dakota. His daily work has primarily been construction administration and drafting on various project types, including educational, commercial, and civic.
Before his education and career in the architectural field, Blake’s first jobs were temporary positions and internships as a reporter and writer for local newspapers and magazines, focusing on human interest and feature stories. As a longtime resident of North Dakota, Blake enjoys traveling across the state, visiting its natural areas and small towns, exploring its rural architecture, and learning about its history.
