Summary
I am a skilled veteran of the construction industry, with over 40 years in the field as a laborer, equipment operator, project engineer and project manager. I have estimated and managed many private and public works projects - from the San Francisco Bay area, Reno & Carson City Nevada and the Monterey peninsula, to name a few. As a result of my time as a take-off engineer early in my career, and the mentors and experts I have worked with, I have developed exceptional estimating skills, focusing on minimizing costs by continually comparing project costs to estimates and coordinating with leaders on cost-cutting methods. I am also a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills.
