He helped restore historic homes in Savannah by doing carpentry work until 1999, when he left for New York to pursue a Masters in Architecture at the Parsons School of Design. Linton worked for five years in New York, focusing first on large-scale rehabilitation of landmark municipal buildings at Swanke Hayden Connell and later managed a series of high-end residential projects at Matthew Baird Architects. In 2004 he returned to NC and joined Dixon Weinstein Architects in Chapel Hill. He founded Linton Architects in 2008.
