About
Creative and technically proficient CAD/BIM professional with over 45 years of drafting and design experience supporting specialty engineering firms. Known for clear communication and the ability to understand, visualize, and accurately translate project requirements into practical, constructible drawings at early design stages. A reliable and trusted contributor to engineering teams, sales staff, and clients by effectively aligning technical execution with project needs.
Over the course of my career, I have benefited from strong mentorship and diverse work experiences. The industry’s evolution from hand drafting to CAD and BIM has allowed me to continuously adapt and maintain a relevant, dependable skill set. Regular exposure to field conditions has reinforced constructability, accuracy, and an understanding of how drawings translate into built work.
My experience includes projects ranging from small slab-on-grade structures to large-scale facilities, including major fulfillment centres. Seeing projects successfully constructed and understanding their real-world impact remains a strong source of professional pride.
While project constraints such as budgets, schedules, design changes, and unforeseen challenges are inherent to the role, I consistently work within these conditions to deliver quality results. I remain committed to producing dependable work, supporting team objectives, and contributing my experience and institutional knowledge in a way that adds long-term value to the organization.
