United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Mechanical Engineer with decades of experience leading quality, manufacturing, and real estate development initiatives across the Gulf South. My background spans ISO 9001 system development, plant-wide document control, product reliability testing, and modular home and residential parcel development.

My combined technical and commercial experience supports end-to-end project delivery from design and quality assurance to sales and property management.
I hold a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and maintain professional memberships in engineering and quality societies. I am outcome-focused, detail-oriented, and experienced in guiding multidisciplinary teams to meet regulatory and customer requirements.
