About 

I am an experienced designer with a strong construction background looking to relocate my family to Raleigh, North Carolina within the next 6 months.

My background ranges from new residential to additions and remodels, commercial projects in restaurants, retail and recreational areas. In the heath and medical fields, I have worked on small offices for general medicine to dentist offices, retro-fitted sections of hospitals and designed research labs for Nova Southeastern University. 

So I invite you to review my resume and decide where can I fit in your organization.

Thank you for reviewing my information.
