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.
