CORE STRENGTHS

Throughout my career I have been involved with many different civil

projects. My experience in surveying and construction gave me a solid base

on which to build upon. Testing and inspection were great guidelines to

insure that projects were constructed in a safe and proper manner. As

earthwork coordinator, I was involved in barrow pit quantities but also

involved in as-built construction earthwork quantities that lead to my

designer skills.

As a designer, I try to incorporate safety during the construction phase,

involve other departments such as mechanical, electrical and construction

personnel so that my civil plans reflect existing and proposed design

plans.
