Through over 20 years of construction experience and innovative use of Lean Six Sigma improvement procedures, I streamline operations for efficiency and effectiveness, while developing state-of-the-day Green sustainability options. My Project Management skills and Business Analysis training bring innovation for Strategically-planned progress, controlled change management and staff training for Fully Integrated Operations.
I have served in the Trades, been Foreman and Superintendent, Estimator, Controller, Director of Construction, Project Manager, Customer Service Director, Regional Vice President and finally Senior Vice President of Operation. I am a licensed General Contractor in Nevada for Commercial and Residential (B-2 inactive). I have directed teams in Commercial, Residential, Industrial and Tenant Improvements.
My career development has been enriched by becoming a Certified LEED-Accredited Professional and Project Management Professional Construction (PMP-C).
Throughout my career I have worked hard to develop a well-balanced understanding of every aspect of building and development. I have held direct responsibility for planning, land development, purchasing and contract negotiations, finance, construction, human resources, asset management, risk analysis and aversion, insurance and legal requirements.
As you can see, I am a resourceful problem solver and an effective communicator with a passion for growth and learning. I have led successful teams and I am ready to lead yours in Quality Performance.
I pattern my Leadership style after Coach John Woodens Pyramid of Success http://www.coachwooden.com/pyramidpdf.pdf
