On the third episode of Licensure Stories, Marc Teer (founder of Black Spectacles) is joined by **[Jamie Bieser](https://blog.widseth.com/bieser-becomes-registered-architect)**, an accomplished architect at Widseth based in Baxter, Minnesota.

You’ll learn how Jamie achieved his “unreachable goal” of becoming a licensed architect, how he studied to pass each exam on the first try, and how his career changed once he became a licensed architect. Finally, Jamie wants to remind you to “remember to play” and “stay fascinated”!

Here’s how Jamie passed all 6 divisions of the ARE 5.0 Exam: Practice Management, Project Management, Programming & Analysis, Project Planning & Design, Project Development & Documentation and Construction & Evaluation.

This is Jamie Bieser’s Licensure Story.
