A Local Operator With Proud Industry Roots
My trades experience began in high school continuing through college where I worked summers as an electrical helper, until earning a bachelor's degree in Construction Management with a minor in Business Administration from LSU in 2007. Over the past 2 decades I have developed a broad range of institutional knowledge spanning pre-construction, project controls, construction management, and most recently executive management as Sr. Vice President for the largest individually-owned fire and life safety company serving 6 locations across Texas.
Operating in major segments of commercial along with oil & gas markets, I carry full appreciation for what drives success across organizations - Respecting people, process, and purpose to generate exceptional outcomes by standard.
