Most construction managers understand the building. Few also understand what runs inside it.

The building

18+ years in the field

Trade, foreman, and supervisory roles across five major sectors — grounding every decision in how the work actually gets installed, sequenced, and turned over.

What runs inside

B.S. Information Security

Fluent with IT, security, and operations stakeholders — a natural fit for owner-side delivery where the construction scope and the systems inside it have to speak the same language.
