With over 20 years of experience in HVAC, Refrigeration, Energy, Construction, and Data Center sectors, I bring a blend of engineering acumen and entrepreneurial skills. My career highlights include launching three startups, one as a subsidiary for a Fortune 500 company, and leading the national expansion of OEM support operations. At Clark Construction Group, I supervise mechanical, electrical, and control system professionals and subcontractors, ensuring future optimal operational performance and maintainability of data center systems.I have successfully led and mentored young engineer teams, enhancing their technical and professional development and fostering a collaborative environment. My expertise in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) design review, drawing supervision, submittal review, field inspections, and testing & commissioning ensures that projects meet the highest standards and deadlines. Additionally, I manage relationships with subcontractors to integrate their work seamlessly with project objectives, minimizing delays and maintaining high-quality deliverables.My project management skills include developing and maintaining MEP schedules, managing testing and commissioning efforts, and reviewing MEP requisitions and contract changes to streamline project delivery. I have established strong collaborative relationships with architects, engineers, trade partners, and operations teams to ensure compliance and client satisfaction. Passionate about solving entrenched challenges and creating substantial company value, I leverage human potential to optimize operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, leading diverse technical teams and managing international and virtual projects effectively.
