What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead restoration projects or warehouse operations, apply estimating and vendor management skills, and drive safety-focused, efficient outcomes while developing teams.

I am a restoration professional with progressive experience in mitigation, estimating, project management, and warehouse operations across restoration franchises and commercial supply environments. I have led teams, trained technicians and vendors, and managed inventories and equipment to maintain safety, compliance, and cost control.

My accomplishments include writing and optimizing reconstruction estimates using Xactimate/Xactanalysis, streamlining warehouse workflows, and delivering projects on time and within budget while maintaining strong customer and insurance adjuster relationships. I prioritize clear communication, safety, and operational discipline to drive reliable outcomes.
