What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on construction role where I can lead field teams, apply CAD/Revit design skills, ensure safety and code compliance, and improve customer satisfaction through efficient project delivery.

I am a customer-focused construction professional with over nine years of hands-on construction and field leadership experience, combining technical design skills with cross-trade capabilities.

As a crew leader and field design associate, I led site operations, enforced safety protocols, conducted client consultations, produced AutoCAD floor plans, and built 3-D Revit models to meet owner accessibility and remodel needs.

My trade background includes carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, drywall, finish trim, and construction estimating, allowing me to deliver code-compliant installations while reducing rework and improving quality assurance.

I am results-driven and detail-oriented, with experience piloting prototypes, coordinating vendor trials, and streamlining sanitation and site processes to improve compliance, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
