Construction safety leader with 12+ years of industry experience and a BS in Occupational Health & Safety, with a proven willingness to accept new challenges and take ownership of complex safety responsibilities. I believe strong safety cultures are built through trust, communication, accountability, and positive interactions with the workforce—not simply through rules and enforcement. My approach is to engage with employees, supervisors, and project teams in the field, understand the challenges they face, and work collaboratively to identify practical solutions that allow work to be performed safely and efficiently. I believe when employees understand that safety is there to support them rather than hinder production, safety and productivity become mutually reinforcing. By building strong relationships and earning the respect of the workforce, I strive to create an environment where people look out for one another, identify hazards before they become incidents, and take pride in doing the job safely and productively.
