Many companies cut costs by reducing their design staffs and hiring outside consultants. That is where I come in. Quite simply, as your consultant, I will deliver a superior product and save you money! The reasons include:* With my experience, I know the "tricks of the trade", the equipment, processes, specifications, and material standards which will deliver an accurate and superior product without sacrificing quality.* Time is money. You need an industry expert who accurately and rapidly delivers the best and correct solution. Your project will go on-line faster, and you will start producing -- and making money -- more rapidly.* Process analysis and process improvement is vital in this industry. As an expert design/build consultant, I know cost- and time-saving processes, because I've seen and implemented hundreds of them.* I am known for accuracy and excellence in my work. That not only means time saved, but significantly less waste and no mistakes. Show less

We have been affiliated with Nikken since November 2004. Within the first few months of our affiliation, I personally had several experiences, both in their products and in their Humans Being More training, that changed my life so dramatically, and caused me to know that Nikken was such an incredible company, that I wanted to be a part of it for the rest of my life. Beckie and I have invested a great deal of time and money since then in self-improvement so we could better accomplish the work of Nikken. Their tag line--Discover It, Live It, Share It--actually tells our story pretty well: We discovered it through actively experiencing the products, the people, and the philosophy; we have increasingly lived it since 2004 to the point that we are surrounded and immersed in it, literally 24/7; and we are now working diligently to share it. "Practice makes pretty good," as I have always told our kids! Show less
