When I joined Nordby, I came on as a project manager leading up to 40 on high-end/luxury residential construction, from new construction to restorations to rehabilitations across California. I was also tasked with building and entirely new division of the company from the ground up. I was selected for this task based on my knowledge of business best practices within the construction industry and expansive contact network / clientele base across both north and south SF bay areas.I hit the ground running and played a pivotal role in increasing the company’s profitability while opening the door to new revenue opportunities and minimizing cost overruns by sharpening the focus on costs, operational efficiencies, and workforce reorganization.

I grew my construction company from the ground up, ultimately finding my stride in the luxury home building markets. My strong work ethic, proactive project management processes, and natural tendency to prioritize communication with every member of the team eventually earned me respect in the industry and a reputation for quality, integrity, and service. After years of honing my craft, I was sought after by some of the country’s most discerning clients, handling builds for estates up to $9 million. My team grew to over 20 employees, and together we brought our clients’ visions to life. From the operational infrastructure to construction processes to the omnichannel marketing strategy, I painstakingly constructed every aspect of my business and enjoyed immense success. The key to my success was a proactive mindset and meticulous planning to ensure every dollar worked as hard for my clients as they did. Without cutting corners or skipping steps, I was able to maximize the value of their dollar by taking the time to map out every detail of the project and train my construction crews on project management methodologies that virtually eliminated waste across every category (materials, time, and change orders).
