Got a response from the LA who sent me the postcard. He emailed me last night. Graduated from Ryerson University's LA program in '95. Worked for a few design firms after graduation, struck out on his own recently. Is a solo-operation, and he's marketing himself as a professional, experienced designer who will take my clients through the design process from initial consultation, to conceptual plan, to finished drawing done on Dynascape software with my company name in the title block. From that point I take over, if a build is a go.
The Dynascape guys have their headquarters about a "long par five" away from my house here in Burlington. I've thought about trying their software myself, but I'm stretched thin for time as it is. I wear too many hats in this business currently to be able to take the time to master the software right now.
We've got what could be a major snowstorm headed for us so I'll be busy the next few days, but I'm going to give him a call and set up a meeting with him so we can check each other out. Seems there could be some potential here. At least I know he's a full-time architect and wouldn't be scooping the cherry projects for himself to install.
Coincidentally, my ex-business partner also went to Ryerson and studied for a year-and-a-half (before bailing) in the same program. I think he was there at the same time too...
