About
Overview
Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) and hands-on Project Manager with 15+ years of experience across civil, structural, MEP, and architectural disciplines. I lead a seasoned team of engineers and architects delivering code-compliant, permit-ready plans across the U.S.
We can provide licensed service in 39 states, and I know how to get things approved — from city planning boards to building departments and utility agencies. Whether you need a full construction set, structural calculations, or just help closing out a permit — I bring the technical expertise, practical mindset, and attention to detail to get it done right.
