With over 29 years of experience in design technology and construction, I excel at simplifying complex concepts and developing innovative solutions. My role involves meeting with clients to assess their requirements, scoping consulting projects, and ensuring cost-effective, impactful outcomes. Leveraging my extensive background in BIM and construction technologies, I am committed to fostering strong relationships and delivering exceptional value to our clients. My career journey began at a small architecture firm at age 17, progressed to a CAD manager for a home builder while attending college, and eventually led me to roles as a superintendent and project manager.
