I am seeking a direction in my career where I can better utilize my strong construction and design skills in the Community Development field. All of my education and work experience benefits the contribution I would make to your Design Team.

As a Project and Design Manager, I obtain over 22 years of combined experience in Method of Construction and Architectural Design.  The knowledge and experience I attained working in the field and Architectural Design experience has gave me the capability to successfully design, manage, understand and complete projects from beginning to end successfully, on time and on budget. I obtain years of experience working closely with City Departments on development programs- incorporating City Zoning, City Ordinances, and applicable Variances, to ensure compliance with City Department Standards and Common Practices for City approval.  I work directly with City Departments for approval of new construction and renovation of developments such as; malls, strip centers, and stand alone facilities.  My work experience includes Industrial, Commercial, and Residential development programs.  Uses varied from; Administrative, Retail, Commercial, Restaurants, Convenient Stores, Service Stations, Big Box Retail, Housing and more. The complexity of projects ranges from the Design of a simple Trash Enclosure or Electrical upgrade on the primary and secondary service to the Design of new strip centers with stand alone Uses. All projects included the strategic and proper selection of City approved paint colors and materials; roofing, siding, stucco, stone, pavers, veneers, tiles, landscaping, hardscaping, signage, lighting, U.G. Electrical Design and distribution and other design elements that are visible to the public.  My strong construction and design background allows me to capture these concepts and adapt your company standards to meet the City’s requirements and standards and other areas of common practice and to translate this to successful projects.
