What I'm looking for

I’m looking for superintendent/owner’s-representative opportunities where I can recover distressed projects, enforce QA/QC and safety, coordinate complex trades, and deliver on schedule and budget in live, high-stakes environments.

I’m a senior construction professional with over 25 years of experience across commercial, hospitality, entertainment, retail, QSR, and union construction. I’m known for recovering distressed projects, accelerating schedules, enforcing QA/QC standards, and leading complex builds to successful completion. I bring disciplined field leadership, clear phasing, and tight budget control to keep owners and stakeholders aligned.

In my consulting work at TRIOSART CONSULTING, I provide superintendent services and owner’s representation for commercial and specialty projects. I specialize in schedule recovery, subcontractor coordination, and QA/QC oversight—stepping in where performance must improve quickly and execution must hold under real-world constraints. I’ve supported active studio construction and renovation by coordinating multiple trades while maintaining safety and operational continuity.

From superintendent and owner’s representative assignments to estimator and project management roles, I’ve managed full project lifecycles—from demolition through close-out—on high-value, detail-driven builds. I’m comfortable leading in high-end retail and hospitality environments, coordinating multi-site QSR work, and navigating union and open-shop dynamics. With tools like Procore, MS Project, and Bluebeam, I help teams execute with measurable planning, tracking, and quality.
