ABF’s 40 Under 40: Renn Halstead hopes to design the next big goal of his career as an architect
Renn Halstead said a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into getting him to where he is today.
Halstead made it through graduate school at the University of New Mexico as a single father. With that, he considers becoming a licensed architect his greatest professional achievement.
Now an associate architect with FBT Architects — the youngest associate at the firm — Halstead has his sights set on becoming a building design leader across the Southwest region. Beyond working at the Albuquerque-headquartered architecture firm, Halstead sits on the management committee for Urban Land Institute’s New Mexico chapter. He’s been on the board since 2019.
