What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role delivering complex construction, HVAC, and building controls projects end-to-end, where I can manage multimillion-dollar budgets, lead cross-functional teams, and apply risk management and execution discipline to drive measurable outcomes.

I’m a Senior Project Manager with 15+ years delivering construction, infrastructure, HVAC, and building automation projects across government and commercial environments. I lead cross-functional teams, coordinate subcontractors and vendors, and drive execution from planning through closeout—bringing structure to complex, high-stakes delivery.

My background includes managing multimillion-dollar budgets (up to $24M), overseeing scheduling and documentation with tools like Microsoft Project and Procore, and improving outcomes through risk management, earned value management, and continuous efficiency analysis. I’m PMP and Six Sigma Black Belt certified, and I bring a strong mix of delivery leadership and technical fluency in HVAC systems, building controls integration, and energy-focused project planning.
