About

With over three decades of experience in the mechanical contracting industry, I bring a comprehensive background that began with a plumbing apprenticeship in 1989 and evolved into a multifaceted career spanning residential and commercial new construction, tenant improvements, and service work. After 28 years in the field, I transitioned into office roles focusing on sales, estimating, and project management. While plumbing remains my core expertise, my tenure at MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions expanded my skill set to include HVAC systems, giving me a well-rounded perspective on mechanical systems integration and project delivery. Known for practical problem-solving, client-focused solutions, and a strong work ethic developed on the jobsite, I thrive in roles that bridge the gap between the field and the front office.
