I have been in the construction industry since 1978. As a general contractor, I'm familiar with many environmental design professions such as product design, architecture, landscape architecture, drafting, and related trades. I have devoted myself to developing and executing difficult, one-of-a-kind projects for more than 30 years. I have worked closely with design firms, subcontractors and consultants for all phases and systems associated with commercial and residential construction. As a draftsman I have worked and studied under many notable architects and designers. The first ten years of my career I worked for speculation builders and developers on affordable housing projects. In the naval architecture industry I worked as a millwright and trim fitter for yacht interiors. The last twenty years have been spent in high-end residential home building, as a casework foreman, draftsman, designer, and recruiter. I have a particular appreciation for well-studied landscapes and interiors. Since 1996 I have been honing my skills as an estimator for local San Francisco Bay Area construction companies.
