My Background
I am a design specialist with a complete background in the construction industry. This background includes hands on and equipment operation for grading and excavation, masonry work, rough and finished carpentry, flooring and wallboard installation and finishing, concrete and wood foundation applications, steel, post and beam, wood, concrete, and prefab structural applications, plumbing, HVAC, electrical wiring, surveying, landscaping, material estimating, water, wastewater and road construction, maintenance and repair, along with construction and property management. I am a problem solver and have an eye for noticing defects in design, and operating procedures.
For the last fourteen years I’ve been working as a design professional utilizing the current Autodesk products including AutoCAD Civil 3D, Architecture and MEP, Revit Architecture, Structure and MEP, and 3ds Max animation. I have performed work for municipal, industrial, commercial and residential clients designing subdivision plats (conceptual through final), plans and profiles for water, wastewater, process waste and road and rail construction, 3D surface models for drainage, irrigation and erosion control. New and remodeled, commercial and residential, architectural and structural plans, HVAC, plumbing and wiring schematics, and 3D modeling for digital walk-through and flyovers.
