Michael Janaskie

Since 1990 Michael has been involved with over 350 church projects nationwide. He came to faith at Clemson University where his calling, purpose and training as an architect was given clear focus. He obtained his Master of Architecture degree from there and now employs his God given gifts and talents to projects knowing that each design envisioned and each line drawn has a Kingdom impact. He currently serves as the design chair for the American Institute of Architecture, Interfaith Design KC, is a Deacon at East Cooper Baptist Church and a part of C-12 as a Key Player.

He resides in Charleston, SC with his wife Margaret and 4 children. In the margins of life he enjoys traveling, golf, photography and interestingly enough is like a big kid playing trains on his model railroad.
