Personal Summary

Relocating to South Carolina

I am a highly dedicated, loyal, and reliable person with a strong work ethic. I love to solve problems and passionate about getting the job done. I don't like to be stuck in one position and not given the opportunity to rise within my company. My need to be challenged by my work is etched into my DNA. I don't shy away from responsibility and will work with clients, vendors, contractors, jurisdictions, engineers, and whoever else to keep a project on course, on time and within budget. If something comes along that I am unfamiliar with, I will not be for very long. My 20 years of experience has given me a broad sense of many styles of construction. Starting out in the high-end spec and custom residential field all the way up to today with commercial remodeling and tenant improvements. I also love to impart any of my knowledge upon co-workers and help new employees in every way possible to reach their potential. As part of my continuing education, I'm currently enrolled in the Construction Management program at Columbia University online.
