Accomplishments
Accomplishments
I bring over 20 years of construction leadership experience with a strong track record of scaling residential operations, improving performance, and driving predictable outcomes across multi-community portfolios. In my current role, I lead production across 30 to 50 homes annually, maintaining approximately a 95% on-time completion rate while controlling cost variance within plus or minus 5% on homes ranging from $750K to $2.5M+. I also oversee 50+ subcontractors and a number of construction managers, ensuring accountability, consistency, and execution across all active communities.
My background spans both field and office operations, which allows me to align strategic planning, budgeting, and forecasting with real-time field execution. I understand how decisions in the office impact production in the field, and I use that perspective to improve cycle times, reduce inefficiencies, and strengthen overall operational performance.
Throughout my career, I’ve scaled production, improved margins, and reduced costs by approximately 14%, while also strengthening estimating accuracy, subcontractor performance, and scheduling discipline. I’ve consistently stepped into underperforming environments and improved structure, accountability, and delivery outcomes.
At this stage in my career, I’m focused on broader leadership roles such as Senior Project Manager, Area Manager or Director of Construction, where I can leverage my field expertise and operational experience to develop teams, improve systems, and drive consistent performance across multiple communities.
