Hello,
I have my undergraduate degree in Architecture and an MBA in Finance. I explored the business world and for the past 26 years I owned and operated my huge Home Furnishing business. Lately as my long lease expired and with the slow down in the economy I decided not to renew and instead I am looking for a good position with a good company.
It could also do construction supervision or inspection of various projects, especially Retail projects since I consider myself an expert in retail and I am very familiar with retailers' needs.
I did work for a structural engineerieng firm (Feuer Engineering - Woodmere, NY) during college and two years after I graduated. Our group inspected hundreds of buildings in Manhattan to make sure they did abide by Local Law 10.
Please consider me for a position with your company.
Thanks,
David Shadi

Feuer Engineering, Woodmere, NY, US, High rise structural inspector
Assisted the structural engineer in all aspects of his work. I was part of a group that did daily inspections of high rise building and to investigate for structural failiures. We were one of the first groups that worked on inspecting buildings over 7 story high for structural well being in New York City as the law had just passed. There were daily non stop visits all over the city to cover an endless list of buildings. I was like the spiderman of New York and at times walking on parapet walls! I did constant photography and filming of buildings as well as writing reports on the exterior of the buildings and the parapet walls. We also did interior inspections for condo conversion projects as well many other things such as related filings or measuring and drawings.
