●Internal Structural Engineer on large-scale wood framed multi-family housing buildings (100k-400k sq.ft) Turnkey produces the wall panels and trusses and is responsible for the truss engineering/bracing. Truss design and engineering in MiTek and Simpson software. Residential truss estimating and sales. ● Solving structural problems, both large and small, discovered onsite during or after construction. Document and sign off on repairs and sometimes submit calcs to the EOR for approval. Propose alternative structural solutions or materials to improve buildability during Design. ●Product Development – Investigation, planning and pricing of several new sectors of the company including a Glulam/CLT production line, a structural insulated panel production line, a framing nail production line that is now running, and a lumber treatment dipping line which is assembled but not yet running. Detailed the testing and certifications required for all of these to be able to meet the specifications for our projects.●Developed and priced CLT elevator shafts and framed 5-story stair towers as a standard product. Developed marketing materials and plans for the sales/estimating teams to be able to pitch these products.●Designed several facility buildings for Turnkey, including the planned reuse and rehab of a large masonry/steel factory.www.turnkeylumber.com

●Team Leader of Operations Engineering for Bensonwood, which includes scheduling and oversight of the Design Development, Virtual Build and Construction phases of projects from single-family residential to multistory, multifamily wood-framed buildings as large as 16 units. I touched over 700 individual projects in some way during my 15 years with Bensonwood. ●Directing Junior Engineers and Drafters through specific tasks and whole projects. My team was usually between 6 and 9, with some that had been there 4-5 years and some right out of school. Responsible as the engineering authority following projects starting in sales, through design, estimating, contracting, permitting/construction plans and detailing, to talking to Builders in the field at the time of construction and site inspections. ●Sales Engineer – played the lead engineering role in the design/sales department to steer designs from a structural and process efficiency standpoint and to ensure projects had been vetted by an engineer before entering the first phase of estimating.

●Project Structural Engineer under the supervision of the Lead Engineer. Responsible for structural engineering on close to 200 projects across the country. ●Lead and steer internal design and sales teams toward buildability and efficiency, with a heavy push toward standardization that fit with our manufacturing processes.●Work with external Architects, Builders and Engineers to develop designs consistent with BWC's method of panelized and heavy timber construction.●Lateral and gravity analysis of residential and commercial timber-framed and panelized structures per building code, and a few seismic projects in other parts of the country.●Develop and maintain 3D BIM model from the schematic phase to the pre-fabrication phase, including adding hardware, ordering timbers and custom steel, and checking panel properties and fastening. Engineering department sign off on a virtual 3D construction model prior to fabrication on all projects, parallel with the rest of the departments to ensure the Design team, the Sales/PM team, and the Build team were all satisfied. ●Foundation and conventional framing Engineering Design and plans sets for subcontractors.●3D full frame wind/gravity analysis of non-typical timber structures using matrix-based software and FEA for component parts.●Design of timber joinery and structural connections between panels. ● Detailing and development of hybrid Mass Timber buildings. ●Steel and concrete design.●Development of standard details for panel connections and fastening, and timber to panel connections. Drafting and process standards and SOP development for typical engineering tasks.

●Managed remote offices (TX & FL) of teams of engineering consultants to the insurance industry to coordinate catastrophe response after Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Investigated the cause and scope of structural damage due to wind and flooding. Interview, hire, and train teams of structural engineers, building specialists, and estimators for field investigations and report writing. Oversaw revision and submission of reports and damage surveys to ensure they were comprehensive and would not raise issues if moved to litigation.●First-hand experience with damage caused by wind, waves, and flooding on a variety of structures and facilities. ●Extensive reporting on roofing materials, detailing, lifespan, and susceptibility to high winds. ●Managing large teams in multiple states working on many projects for several major insurance carriers. Oversaw hundreds of investigations from the initial call to submitting the reports.

●Managed teams of Engineers and Technical Experts for investigations into the cause and scope of damage and the method and cost of repair. Investigations included structural, mechanical, and electrical failures and damage, construction delays, personal injuries, and damaged equipment of all kinds. Served as the interface between our clients- Insurance Adjusters and Attorneys, and the Engineers/Experts. Responsible for reviewing and assembling reports. Budgeting and scheduling, technical writing and documentation, evidence handling and storage, interviewing and hire qualified experts, and review of complex files in litigation. ●Catastrophe response following natural and man-made disasters.● Projects included investigations into power generation/boiler machinery failures, structural failures due to explosions and fire, custom machinery failures, anything that can fail and affects insured property. ●Example projects include: sheet piling and de-watering system failure on a renovation of the Cleveland Public Library, construction contamination of the fresh water system at the Mohegan Sun facility, large steam turbine failures, and boiler explosions.
