I lead industrial EPC estimating and preconstruction strategies that turn complex pursuits into executable, competitive projects.

At Cajun Industries, I lead industrial EPC and modular-fabrication estimates from opportunity assessment through proposal submission, helping grow Mechanical revenue from $50M to over $120M at a 75% win ratio.

I lead and mentor 12–15 estimators while aligning operations, engineering, procurement, legal, scheduling, project controls, subcontractors, fabricators, and logistics partners around execution-ready bid strategies. I’ve also established scalable estimating processes that reduced estimate cycle time by 30%.

Across more than 20 years with Cajun Industries, North Star Energy Services, Wink Engineering, and Performance Contractors, I’ve built estimates, commercial strategies, and project plans for industrial EPC, modular fabrication, LNG, petrochemical, and process-facility work.
