About

In my career, I have held positions of project engineer, project manager, and superintendent working on both the contractors side and the owners side (including construction management.  My preference is a field superintendent or project manager position where I am able to be a major part of the construction of a building project managing the daily operations, trouble-shooting field issues, working with the subcontractors and vendors in efficient effort leading to a successful project completion.
