INTRODUCTION:

My extensive architectural career as an Architectural Healthcare Division

Director enables me to bring a wealth of performance and experience to

your organization. My principle directives have included defining

project scopes for new and renovated healthcare projects large and small.

This included leading my team to itemize aspects such as space

utilization, site analysis, infrastructure and technology requirements.

I led the project scheduling process by establishing deadlines and

milestones throughout all development phases. Budgeting, value

engineering, and owner representation processes were accomplished through

my substantial direction.

My education, lengthy experience, and professional direction resulted in

all healthcare projects under my supervision including new hospitals to

be successfully completed both on budget and on schedule. My goal is to

continue in this capacity to complete new healthcare projects as I have

done throughout my career--by professionally and creatively utilizing my

talents with your firm.

CORE COMPETENCIES:

Managerial:

As Division Director I had primary architectural responsibility for the

overall project success. This mainly included, but was not limited to,

supervising the project team and liaising with all involved project

consultants.

While at HHCP I personally managed an office staff of 20 to 35

individuals.

This consisted of project architects, project designers, planners,

programmers, managers, coordinators as well as office and construction

administrators and marketing staff.

I assisted the client with project scope, budget, and scheduling.

I further assisted planners, programmers and designers to interface

directly with the client representatives and facility staff to complete

the preliminary, the design development, and the construction drawing

phases of the project.

I guided the client through the bidding phase.

This included pre-qualification of contractors and pre-bid orientation

for the construction process.

I assisted with the solvency of our division.

I personally negotiated and created contracts for architectural and

consultant fees. I also helped establish project budgets and spreadsheet

tools for the improved management of fees.

My responsibilities also included legal assistance pertaining to project

approvals. By testifying as an expert witness in the field of healthcare

architecture, our team was able to win state approval for several

projects. (Department of Administrative Affairs, Tallahassee, Florida)

Essential tasks also included supporting the marketing department with

new business development. I greatly contributed to the marketing team by

presenting projects on a competitive basis for the purpose of obtaining

new business. Specific contributions include the following:

1. Speaker at industry conferences

2. Created marketing presentations

3. Wrote articles for current trade journals

4. Spearheaded innovative use of 3D visualizations

Office Environment:

Most projects were assigned to a team ranging from five to fifty

professionals. This included consultant coordination, agency reviews,

bidding and construction support through project close-out and beyond.

Not all projects required a large team. A small number of healthcare

projects were completed by me with only one or two assistant support

staff.

Handling day-to-day staff problems as well as staff retreats, technology

education and professional development presentations were part of my

normal human resource responsibilities as Division Director.

In addition to these responsibilities, I also headed up two successful

office renovation projects for our own workplace environment.

As you can see, my roles included just about everything associated with

running a small architectural office that earned millions of dollars per

year. My Division had the highest document productivity and employee morale

in the entire organization.

PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO:

Recent Experience:

While at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston I

functioned as the Senior Project Manager for the Healthcare Recovery

effort to rebuild the damaged portions of the campus and lead the team in

liaison with FEMA. The budget for these projects exceeded $200,000,000.

Throughout my 18 years at HHCP Healthcare, I have managed the design and

construction of more than 200 healthcare projects ranging from small

renovations to acute care replacement and new hospitals.

Project Experience Examples:

1. New acute care hospitals and major additions;

2. Expansions and renovations to update facilities

3. Women's Health Facilities

4. Neonatal Care

5. Emergency Care

6. Surgery

7. Radiology

8. Pharmaceutical Departments

9. Ambulatory Care

10. Other medical, surgical, clinical and administrative support

services.

I personally managed the design and development of three new replacement

hospitals. I was personally responsible for maintaining the construction

budget, the scheduling of document preparation, and the monitoring of all

changes to the projects resulting in zero change orders. This was

accomplished through a well-managed value engineering process.
