Because the A/E industry is broad and multi-faceted, success in this career requires detailed and precise execution blended with adaptability and ingenuity. In my nearly 30 years serving in varied roles in this industry, I have found the part of my work I enjoy most is approaching situations in a good-natured way and encouraging my teams to achieve things others might find impossible.My technical experience includes extensive design in civil, electrical, mechanical and structural design principles, with an emphasis on structural engineering. As a leader, others have described me as a confident executive with excellent inter-discipline coordination and communication skills that have proven to be a key factor in work-sharing abilities, and extremely valuable in the success of on-time completion of projects.In starting and leading my own company for 13 years, I learned valuable skills that have a direct impact on revenue generation and profitability, including business development, marketing, finance and operations management. In recent years my project and construction management expertise have helped me develop organizational standards for project delivery, with a proficiency in the execution of management tasks, including scope development, scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, invoicing and quality assurance.Because I firmly believe a company’s greatest asset is its employees, I strive to lead by example with enthusiasm and trustworthiness to inspire others to do their best and motivate their continued career paths – a focus that effectively results in happy clients and successful projects.Sector experience: Hospitality, commercial, aviation, federal, healthcare, surface transportation and higher education.Areas of expertise: Civil, electrical, mechanical and structural design principles with an emphasis on structural engineering; owners’ technical advocate for new building and renovation projects, as well as retro-commissioning and assessments for existing facilities; design-bid-build, design-build and CM at-risk project delivery methods; scope development, scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, invoicing and quality assurance.
