I’m an Architect with a 30+ year career in Architectural Design and Construction, including nearly 10 years with NAVFAC SW. I’ve worked on of some of the most complex project types in the industry and some of the largest

I’ve worked as an Owner’s Representative, Construction Manager, Project Manager, Architect and Planner includes numerous Design‐Build Projects, General Acute Care Hospitals, Rehabilitation and Psychiatric Hospitals, extensive renovation and reuse within operating hospitals and facilities, and a Veterans Administration Medical Center.
My experience in the private sector includes participation on the “Co-opetition” for the
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) team for the California Prison Healthcare Receivership Project using Design‐Build and LEAN Design and Construction concepts. The high security project was at the forefront of innovation and alternative project design and construction delivery processes.
