About 

I manage the national VDC department for Modern Niagara where I am helping to streamline and harmonize VDC processes and CAD/BIM software in the planning, design, coordination, fabrication, installation and management of building mechanical systems


Recently, I managed and produced 3D Visualization projects at Cicada Design, Inc. for the Architecture, Interior Design, Real Estate Development and Planning industries using 3DS Max, Vray, Photoshop, After Effects, Revit and AutoCAD.

Formerly, I directed and managed CAD/BIM, IT, technology and digital media efforts for Architectural Innovations on a variety of educational and institutional projects.

Previously, I was a Project Manager on Department of Public Works and Environmental Services projects for the Building Design Branch of Fairfax County Government. I have also worked in the architecture, interior design and real estate industries for 28 years as a licensed architect specializing in CAD, BIM, 3D visualization, graphic design and IT & technology support.
