About

With over 30 years of experience in the construction trades, I offer a rare perspective that bridges the gap between complex field operations and modern digital solutions. My career began in the trenches as a master of the plumbing trade and business owner, and has evolved into a deep expertise in facility management and software design. ​I don’t just understand how a building functions—I understand the systems, the people, and the technology required to keep them running at peak efficiency. Whether I’m conducting a facility audit or designing software workflows, my goal is to leverage three decades of "boots-on-the-ground" knowledge to solve 21st-century engineering challenges.
