PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I have over twenty five years experience in directing and managing the development of
construction programs, plans, specifications, and contracts for projects from concept through
construction, both on a local and a national level. As a Project/Construction Manager, my
expertise lies in my ability to understand the construction needs of the Owner and to
communicate those needs to the architect, engineer, and contractors. My experience and
leadership skills allow me to manage multiple projects, project managers, and superintendents
in multiple locations efficiently. I understand that successfully meeting budget, schedule, and
expected quality are the KEYS to a successful construction project. I have extensive knowledge
of Microsoft Office---Word, Excel, Project, and Outlook.
