I build complete residential neighborhoods on
time and under budget with large and small
construction firms and developers US-wide. With
considerable success in the management of
multiple projects, I am able to consistently
improve efficiency, increase productivity and
boost profits.
My experience in managing operations and
expertise in purchasing, estimating and
architectural services helps me achieve smooth,
efficient production in demanding and fast-
paced environments. I develop and lead teams to
maximize resources, streamline construction,
and overcome schedule and budget constraints.
My strengths include:
- Leading all phases of development and
construction from design to delivery
- Formulating action plans to maximize revenue
opportunities
- Identifying and implementing strategic
improvements, optimizing performance
- Providing vision and decisive leadership to
gain market share
- Directing, managing and motivating large
staffs
I earned a BS in Business Administration from
Oklahoma State University. Additionally, I have
completed numerous sales and negotiation
seminars. I am results-oriented and direct when
addressing problems, driving results and
finding answers through inspiration, innovation
and tenacity.
