"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones." - John CageWith over 14 years of industry experience, I have been fortunate to be part of major landmark projects with global significance. These projects have had major architectural importance, complex legal stratifications, mission critical data, smart building integration, multiple stakeholders and partners, and have been situated in busy downtown locations. My passion for building significant infrastructure in the communities that I call home cannot be overstated. My experience in the construction industry has also given me the opportunity to get involved within the community, specifically the Calgary Construction Association in which I currently hold a board seat on the Young Construction Leaders. I have enhanced the construction industry by providing a sustainable platform for Calgary's Young Construction Leaders to build relationships, exchange ideas, and create community through social, educational and outreach initiatives.
