Career Accomplishments:

As a project manager and lead estimator I have successfully directed the

construction and estimating of multiple construction projects of various

sizes and costs. I have led teams to orchestrate the construction of multi-

million dollar construction projects; involving several subcontractors and

suppliers, all being brought together to accomplish the same objective, the

successful completion of a project. I have the proven ability to work on

multiple projects simultaneously and be a self starter. My attention to

detail and accuracy in my estimates has provided project completions

matching or exceeding the estimated profit. Graduate of the Wisconsin AGC
