Wendell Burnette

KJZZ partners with the Arizona Republic to bring you the Arizona Storytellers series. We record the live events and share them with you on the radio. In Phoenix, the storytellers sometimes share stories about our community or the life events that have shaped them in general. Megan Finnerty is the creator of the series. 

Wendell Burnette is an architect in Phoenix. He shared his story at a recent night in partnership with Modern Phoenix Week.

He started his own company 19 years ago. Right after he finished building his own home, Burnette’s very first client bought a lot in his neighborhood. The couple had big dreams and wanted Burnette to design them a 4,500-square-foot house.

Wendell Burnette is the CEO of Wendell Burnette Architects in Phoenix.
