About 

I thrive in a job where I can wear many hats. I’m seeking a position where I can use all my experience, resources & intuition.  At my career level I’m seeking a position to retire from – in 5+ years.

I'm very dedicated to my projects & loyal to my employer - I will do whatever it takes to produce a well-received set of Construction Docs. 

I think like a business owner, but know it takes a cohesive team to realize a successful project. I’ve always preferred to work with a small, elite team of professionals; everyone does their job & when needed, helps others do theirs.

I’ve assisted several firms’ transition to Revit from CAD. I even aided our consultants when the need arose, going to their office to mentor & repairing the families of 3rd party contractors.

I can lead if needed, or work independently. I enjoy mentoring – I’ve tutored several students, some for free. I know when to ask for help & I stand my ground if I know I'm right. 

I take my job very seriously, I am passionate about this industry. feel that designing living & work spaces that exceeds clients requirements is a calling. I believe we're all here to make a profit & establish a good reputation.
