Years of experience
A highly motivated commercial Project Superintendent with 25+ years of construction experience, leading ground-up construction, tenant improvements, renovations, and complex commercial projects throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest. I am a safety-first, boots-on-the-ground leader who establishes clear expectations, maintains accountability, and builds productive relationships with clients, subcontractors, inspectors, project teams, and even neighbors. I bring a strong understanding of OSHA safety, construction sequencing, schedule management, and the day-to-day realities of delivering complex projects in the field through proactive teamwork and clear, consistent communication. I take pride in keeping projects organized, productive, and aligned with client expectations.
