Some of my earlier memories were going with my dad into the Stone & Webster offices on a Saturday, sitting at a drafting table and drawing on isometric and graph paper. I grew up with the plant design and construction industry. I already knew in middle school that I wanted to be an engineer. Today, I'm a fourth generation engineer but now I work on the sales and business development end of things. Over the years, I wore many hats and as a result, my past experiences in project execution, construction, procurement, and engineering let me better understand my clients' needs. I've also been on all sides of the project world - owner, supplier, consultant, buyer, seller - and this has helped me understand the pain points and drivers of my clients and subcontractors. At the end of the day, I'm very hands on because I like working with people. My goal is to build strong, long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with all stakeholders involved on projects. It's the people - whether employees, vendors, contractors, clients, or partners--that impact operations and results.
