Background

About Samuel Carter

As a Presidential Scholar and Bachelor of Architecture graduate from the University of Miami, I am passionate about turning bold ideas into reality - whether through design, construction, or community-focused problem-solving. My academic journey, including Dean’s List honors, Rome study abroad, and a Certificate in Historic Preservation, instilled in me that great spaces demand equal parts creativity, technical rigor, and empathy. Professionally, I thrive at the intersection of design and execution. From multimillion-dollar infrastructure projects at the Port Authority of NY/NJ to affordable housing compliance at the Illinois Housing Development Authority, I’ve learned that collaboration transforms blueprints into impact. Now, as part of JRM Construction Management’s Rotational Program, I’m honing my skills in superintending, estimating, and project management to deliver landmark NYC projects. What drives me? Solving complex challenges - like preserving history while meeting modern safety needs - and empowering others (from mentoring budding designers to guiding first-year students as an RA). The best builds emerge when architects, engineers, PMs, and communities align. Let’s chat about: Cutting-edge design, construction innovation, or your favorite building in NYC!(I’m still torn between the Flatiron and Empire State.)
