Building Automation Leader | Controls & Smart Systems | Engineering That Drives Revenue

Huntington Beach, California, United States

About

I help AEC firms, data center operators, and commercial real estate owners modernize their building control infrastructure — from design through commissioning. With a background in aerospace engineering and 10+ years in controls, I bridge the gap between technical depth and business outcomes. At DMG, I lead a division delivering BAS, DDC, and smart building solutions across healthcare, CRE, and data center markets. What sets me apart: I’ve been on both sides — engineering the systems and selling them. That means I speak fluent contractor, engineer, and executive. 📍 Orange County, CA | Open to connecting with AEC professionals, facility managers, and smart building innovators.
