Now a dedicated member of the New York Tech’s Board of Trustees, he brings a lifetime of leadership shaped by decades of real-world experience and a passion for meaningful impact.

Named in honor of his parents, Tommaso and Franca Chieco, the studio reflects his belief in mentorship, education, and the power of opportunity. This remarkable body of work, spanning nearly four decades, led to his appointment to the NY Tech’s Board of Trustees, where he continues to champion strategic initiatives that advance the university’s mission and empower its students. At the same time, he remains Co-Chairman of the Board at Milrose, advising on national growth, evaluating acquisition opportunities, and ensuring alignment between the company’s strategic goals and execution. Whether guiding leadership or speaking at industry conferences, he serves as a trusted voice and connector across the built environment.
