ABOUT ME

I have served as a Senior Project Manager for leading Engineering, Surveying and Architectural firms in the Midwest for nearly 25 years. Past experiences include eight years as a heavy construction engineer with the United States Army Airborne Corps, and three years land and construction surveying/site development with Elgin Surveying and Bloomsdale Excavating.

As a Professional Engineer, I have performed and managed design teams in the completion of design-build and design-bid commercial, industrial, and residential development; design and implementation of residential and commercial storm water and municipal sanitary sewer collection pumping and treatment facilities, and drafting contract bidding and specifications documents specific to each project.

I specialize in Site Development, ADA regulations/assessments, Transportation Enhancement projects and many utility and infrastructure projects. Often serving as the city engineer for small municipalities, I am very competent at holding public works sessions, presenting issues at public meetings and participating with planning and zoning commissions to plan and develop sites in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Besides drafting bidding documents and specifications, I also administer the procurement, review of qualifications, and provide recommendation of bidders being responsive and responsible, oversee construction, hold progress meetings, administer contract documents, perform on-site inspections, and ensure compliance with construction documents.
