28 years of consulting structural engineering experience focused on the buildings industry, and now part of a innovative team changing how we build in the US. I have always enjoyed fast paced changing environments and "unsolvable" problems. My focus has always been on bridging across the traditional barriers between builders, designers, and owners to streamline projects and create opportunities to complete projects successfully. I am committed to providing unmatched customer service to develop lasting relationships with our clients. I believe in the importance of flexible thinking, collaborative problem solving, and cohesive teamwork. With the combined resources of DPR Construction and GPLA Inc. structural engineers, we will actively work to solve the breakdowns in the current construction process. We have streamlined the connection from design engineering through fabrication and construction and will continue to advocate for leaving behind the fragmented and broken process that has become the unfortunate norm in the US construction industry.I have successfully launched and grown a consulting engineering firm through the recession, and have been part of 3 startup non-profit entities along with extensive experience in non-profit governance and leadership. My specific strengths in addition to excellence in structural engineering include strategic planning and strategy development, marketing and business development, and leadership development and management. I have successfully built talented teams in several organizations, both profit and non-profit, and enjoy helping talented people work as a team to reach their goals.Specialties include:Structural EngineeringFast-track and Design Build ProcessesStructural steel design including connection engineeringForensic engineering and collapse analysisHistoric renovation and restorationHD BIM (High Definition Building Information Modeling)Long span structuresOrganizational managementLeadership and employee development
