Background

About Dan Fishtorn

With over 20 years of work experience in the construction industry, I am a seasoned and skilled CAD manager and design manager. I have a master's degree in business administration, and a passion for creating and improving efficient, accurate, and innovative design processes. I am currently the national CAD manager at Schumacher Homes, one of the largest custom home builders in the US, where I oversee the CAD operations for 26 divisions across 12 states. I am driven by the mission of delivering high-quality, affordable, and personalized homes to our customers, and I value collaboration, innovation, and excellence in my work. In my current role, I am responsible for managing the CAD software, hardware, standards, and procedures for the entire company. I also review and approve third-party designs and quotes, train new CAD operators on company standards and software usage, and review all production drawings. Additionally, I leverage my previous experience as a director of design management at Haven Custom Homes, where I managed the design department and coordinated with all facets of the company to grow our processes and enter new market segments. I have strong skills in construction, budgeting, and materials, and I enjoy working with a diverse and talented team of designers, engineers, and builders.
