Optimizing land projects through operational excellence and strategic alliances is critical. I am an influential land development leader who adeptly navigates complex governmental agencies to expedite construction and infrastructure project delivery. I spearhead multi-billion-dollar private and public projects across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Leveraging strategic planning, I manage multifaceted projects and programs, including high-profile vertical constructions and extensive transportation systems. I'm committed to operational excellence, continually seeking ways to enhance efficiency from vision to execution. I forge strong relationships with state and local governments, regulatory bodies, elected officials, contractors, and internal stakeholders. As the Midwest land development team leader – principal for Bowman, I expanded the business scope to include new sectors, including transportation, structural, mining, landscape and architecture, and construction management services. I implemented project milestone tools to enhance team performance and project tracking for 15 multi-state projects. Below are some of my top accomplishments: • Facilitating the opening of the Nashville office for Bowman after securing new business development opportunities with Vanderbilt University’s team of civil engineers.• Leading construction of the Mill Creek subdivision for Shodeen Inc. across 900+ acres of open space with 2.5K+ single- and multifamily lots; achieved “Best Overall Community in the Midwest” award by The National Association of Home Builders.• Managing negotiations and project commencement of the Elburn Station subdivision for Shodeen Inc., the largest subdivision project in Kane County, IL; partnered with local politicians and government agencies.I am always open to expanding my professional network.
