Professional Summary
I have managed most types of construction from retail to industrial but have a preference for healthcare with dozens of hospital, nursing, assisted living, and independent living projects completed. I have excellent project management skills with a proven history of bringing in projects on schedule and under budget. I fully understand the value of maintaining excellent relationships with customers, subcontractors, architects, and engineers. I am looking for a company to use my healthcare construction background and management skills.
