Touson attended the Syracuse school of Architecture for 2 years, when he realized that the education there was too narrow for his aspirations. He then transferred to the School of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning at University of Massachusetts-Amherst which he attended for 2 more years. This gave him a well rounded design perspective and helped to form his overall design philosophy.

Touson sought a private mentorship with an Ecological Architect in Northern California for 2 more years where he studied and had hands on experience in Sustainable "Green" Architecture.

After traveling for 2 years, he landed in Angel Fire, New Mexico with his new beloved wife where he worked with a local designer. He then settled in Crestone, CO where he lived, raised a family with 2 children, built a 3000 sq.ft family home and practiced architectual design for the past 8 years.

Touson now resides in Mt. Shasta, CA with his family and continues his design work in Colorado and California.
