Sheeran, president, designed residential, commercial and public projects in the Charlottesville area, as well as projects in the Caribbean, Massachusetts and Michigan. Other members of the firm whose work is represented in these records include John Gorman, currently practicing in Charlottesville, and Gregg J. Donovan, currently practicing in New York City. John Gorman joined the firm in 1993; Gregg Donovan practiced with the firm from 2000 to 2008. The firm was dissolved when Sheeran died suddenly in March 2010.
