I work for the Azzur Global Construction Division. I oversee our build outs of our Azzur CoD (Cleanrooms on Demand) facilities throughout the country. I keep an eye on the schedules, the quality and efficiency of the building of our facilities. I correspond with all out teams as well as the Architects and Engineers to help bring our facilities to the design that has been developed throughout the course of this venture. Help with any and all issues that may arise during construction. I started at the Burlington location about 65% completion. I helped to mange the completion of said facility before moving on to help with design stages and continue site visits as needed to oversee our GC and Cleanroom vendor construction of our facilities in Devens, MA. and Morrisville, NC, and currently in Alameda, CA. Morrisville and Alameda are my assigned projects with Devens being assigned to another one of my colleagues on the Global Construction team. I worked with all of our department consisting of Global Engineering, Global and local Quality Department and local operations teams that consist of qualification, validation and operational teams. I help with design of the security systems and the IT systems with direct knowledge from out Globe IT department to make sure we are designing what the facilities need to function at the proper levels needed. I have the privilege of working with some of the brightest minds in this industry and have learned more then I can tell you in my time here. I love this position because it challenges me in a way I haven’t been in my career as well as it allows me to use my knowledge and experience to help build a Cleanroom facility for the pharmaceutical and scientific community. I have met some truly incredible young people. Absolutely love this job and it challenges. Definitely making me grow in ways I didn’t know.

I was in charge of all of our traveling division in the field. I worked hand in hand with our director or operations for the traveling division and our local GS in conjunction with each site PM for each project out side of our home location in Tucson, AZ. I over saw all the site superintendents and made sure they had everything they needed to do their jobs to the best of their abilities. Scheduled carpenters as needed for each site, help troubleshooting any issues that may have arisen before, during and after construction to make sure we had a satisfied client and help them with scheduling and any troublesome subcontractors. Worked directly with the owners reps/PMs so we could meet all expectations.

I was a construction project Superintendent in the commercial industry. Completed multiple projects from QTs, Tilted Kilt, Panera Bread, multipurpose retail buildings on multimillion dollar shopping center and developments, with 5 Guys, Nordstrom Rack, Dicks Sporting Goods, TJ Max, Mod Pizza. Started on the traveling division building CS Plasma donation facilities all over the county from Florida to Washington state, Maryland to Southern California and everywhere in between. These projects where ground up with new infrastructure and Tenant Improvements. Before getting promoted to the General Superintendent for the traveling department. I was in charge of project scheduling and making sure every aspect of the project on site completed on time, under budget and with the quality and professionalism that my employer expected.

I came back to work for Concord to build a QT. After the QT was completed I helped with other projects waiting for a negotiated hospital to get started just outside of town. During this time I got a call from at the time was Barker Morrissey Construction to build a QT they had just landed. After talking to ownership at Concord I took the position at Barker Morrissey.

After leaving Concord I started VS Concrete Construction. We went in as a family business with my 3 oldest kids, my daughter Sally with her husband Johnny and my son Ray. We had a B1 dual GC license. We mostly functioned as a concrete subcontractor due to the demand from other GC I works for before. We did local government work for ADOT and some local schools, retail, car wash facilities, fast food as well as some minor right of way work in down town Tucson. Our biggest project the new Calvary Chapel Tucson that is today is known as Calvary Tucson. We did this project for Concord General Construction, we did all the concrete work, all the door and hardware installation as well as provide and install all the aluminum windows. I played and owners advocate for Calvary at the time due to my relationship with being a member of the church, this was truly a very delicate position for me but was very rewarding and helped me to further my experience with all aspects of the commercial construction industry. We also install directly for the owners all the sound system equipment and main sanctuary lighting. This venture tools us into a position where we invented a new way to install clusters and linear ways speaker sound system in order to produce a more esthetically pleasing system to hang the speaker from the ceiling. Owning our own business was an essential component in given the knowledge I have today help lead and guide owners and contractors in a direction that is practical and effective for all parties involved. If any of you remember 2010 was a very difficult time for the commercial construction industry in Arizona due to the fall of the housing market and being only a year+- into this we could not survive the down fall we all have to go back to being employed by other businesses. I end up back with Concord for a short time to get me back to being and employee instead of an owner.

I did 2 DaVita dialysis clinic for Concord and even though they were a great company to work for I felt like I needed to get my GC license and try this on my own. Concord Ownership played a huge role in helping me get started and will forever be grateful for John Nyman Sr. help and mentorship. I left Concord and got my GC B1 dual contractor license and started my own company.

After leaving TL Roof I went to work for a long time friend who owned a concrete subcontracting company. I was responsible for everything outside the doors, the field was my responsibility. I hired all field personal, helped with estimating on a few projects. I managed all the projects by assigning my supervisors for each site along with making sure we had the proper equipment and personnel needed to complete the projects per the GC schedules. I help trouble shoot with the GC and our teams on the ground as well as a few owners and Architects and Engineers as needed. We were a concrete sub and that is what we did Concrete. Worked on federal projects for the city federal court building, Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Fort Huachuca Army base, directly for Local Parks and Recreation ADOT as well as local schools, churches, and the UofA. From retail to restaurants and multi family, county clubs and resorts.We specialized in concrete staining, epoxy and decorative saw-cutting and glass beaded concrete. I worked closely with our owner to make sure we went after the right projects and worked for the right people. Though this was a short span of my career (as a Subcontractor) I did learn a lot and enjoyed the insights from the subcontractors side.

I started working for WE O’Neil when they were know as T. L. Roof and Associates Construction Co. I started with them in a huge hole as they were adding the east wing known as the UofA Cancer Center for the UofA. I started as a laborer and within 4-5yrs was promoted from carpenter to assistant Superintendent to a Project Superintendent. I was a Project Superintendent for them on multiple commercial projects from restaurants, retail, government work for local, federal and Core of Engineers for the US Military, projects for Hughes missile systems, Tucson Air National Guard, along with Davis, Monthan Air Force Base, Fort Huachuca Army base in Sierra Vista, Az., federal court building and Pima County Courthouse, worked on resorts for Westin La Paloma, Hilton El Conquistador and Marriott Westward Look Resort, worked on multiple schools, manufacturing, giants like Caterpillar, Walgreens, and so many more. I have always been asked why I left TL Roof and I took a different direction in life and was looking to get more freedom for my family and went to where at the time I thought would get me more freedom. The construction industry can be very very demanding when you have the experience I had accumulated through my 20+yrs with TL Roof. They were a great company to work for and was never treated with nothing less them respect and admiration. Life has a way of taking us into new adventures.
