My name is Alfred Romero, I’m a Navajo Indian born in Springer, New Mexico, currently living in Escondido, Calif.  I have been married to my wonderful wife Christine for 28 years.  She assists me in the business by running the office and various other functions.

I also have 2 amazing stepchildren and 2 grandchildren.  My  grandson took an interest  in what I am doing  at a very young age and now he goes with me to job sites to measure and take pictures.  He is also in the process of learning AutoCad.  Recently his younger sister has expressed a desire to learn the business too.  She now comes out on projects with me.

In my spare time I enjoy fishing and drawing/painting.

I also enjoy traveling with my wife.  We recently completed a 7 week road trip by car ( not RV) of the United States.  It was amazing experience, even if I did take my drafting projects with me to work on in the evenings.

I have an Associate Degree in Architecture from Southwestern College in Chula Vista, Calif. 

I have worked for several companies learning my trade.

About 1980, I opened my own part time business, known as R & A Drafting Agency, which I ran until I closed it in 2009 due to my inability to provide my clients with my full time attention as I was working a full time job in addition to the part time drafting. I recently retired after 17 years with a local government agency, doing civil engineering drafting.  So that I don't drive my wife crazy with extra time on my hands ( also to avoid the "Honey-do List"  ), I have decided to reopen the business on a full time basis under the name of Dream Catcher Drafting, a nod to my Native American Heritage.

I am experienced in both AutoCad and free hand drafting.

I also have extensive experience doing contract drafting for architectural and engineering firms. 

In addition to my architectural drafting experience, I have over 27 years of experience in civil engineering drafting.

We currently have projects in  Escondido, Oceanside, Chula Vista, Fallbrook, Del Mar, La Mesa and San Diego.  These projects range from custom homes to ADUs to room additions to patio covers and retaining walls. 

We also get hired frequently to help clients get plans after receiving code violations for not having permits.

We currently have projects in  Escondido, Oceanside, Chula Vista, Fallbrook, Del Mar, La Mesa and San Diego.  These projects range from custom homes to ADUs to room additions to patio covers and retaining walls. 

We also get hired frequently to help clients get plans after receiving code violations for not having permits.

Another thing we do is take over projects when the original architect or draftsman won't handle the corrections from the governing agencies.

Recently, we  finished expansion plans for Mediterraneo  Bistro in Alpine, Calif.  In fact if you are in the area, stop in and try their authentic Italian food and of course finish your meal off with the best cheesecake you will ever eat.  

The owners of  the property have hired to work on their home as well as another  remodel of the restaurant.
