Letter of Introduction
My background in architecture and 25 years of experience in bid-build and true design-build construction firms uniquely qualifies me to provide management on any project type. This experience includes government, public works, and private sector projects. Although my skills have been tested on many different project types over the years, believe it or not, there are still a few I have not had the opportunity to tackle. I have always been able to quickly and efficiently learn the programs required for new building types as I am very design, detail and technically oriented. I believe my broad experience on many different building types provides many of the components necessary to manage any project.
Please let this letter serve as a brief introduction of my qualifications with the Resume, Project Data, References, Reference Letters, and other documents included on my website providing the details of my career. If you need an experienced talented construction professional and a proven team leader that will be productive from the first day of hire, then please contact me for further discussions. I am ready to start serving your firm immediately.
• Broad Base of Knowledge
Working for architects, general contractors, and developers has given me a broad base and range of knowledge to manage all phases of a project from conceptual design through final owner acceptance. This unique versatility allows me the insight to understand the positions of all project participants and the development, design, and construction aspects of a project. As a strong point in my professional skills, this flexibility facilitates the process required to keep a project focused, progressing forward in an organized manner, within budget, completed on time, and exceeding quality expectations.
• Skilled Manager
My design, technical, and administrative skills have been aptly demonstrated in the more than one hundred buildings I have designed and/or built in Hawaii, New York, Massachusetts, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Illinois, and Texas. When working on projects mutual respect, communication, priority, delegation, organization, and documentation is essential for successful project management. I have used these skills effectively when working on small projects or working on large complex projects for national and international firms.
• Exceptional Experience
25 years of experience in the office and on-site for construction companies has given me the time to enhance and fine tune the skills required to manage the physical aspects of projects and all project participants. My experience includes 20 years of negotiated design-build and 5 years of bid-build experience constructing shopping centers, office buildings, public works projects, industrial buildings, hotels, casinos, parking structures, interiors, and tenant improvements. Additional relevant career experience includes 10 years working for architectural companies. This experience has given me knowledge in building codes and ordinances, project presentations before commissions and councils, and the technical aspects of designing buildings and producing complete construction documents.
• Understanding of Business Travel
As a seasoned business road warrior of 10 years I understand the rigors and discipline it takes to be an effective and productive manager while traveling. Whether it is managing a large scale project or several projects simultaneously I enjoy working with the team in the field to produce quality projects and exceed all owner expectations.
• Technology
My use and proficiency of computers and software in the workplace is a powerful tool that I have completely integrated into all my work striving constantly to learn new technology as it becomes available.
• Dedication
I enjoy hard work and take my responsibilities seriously. Working with people and helping them succeed on all levels is important for success personally and professionally. I have taken great pride in training and providing guidance to draftsmen, designers, engineers, superintendents, project managers, and office staff.
If you believe the open position advertised by your firm is the type of work that my qualifications and dedication would fit into comfortably, I would be interested in further discussion. Your consideration of my interest in filling a position within your firm is greatly appreciated.
