Experience- I have been working in the Engineering and Construction
industry for about 25 years now...

Education- I attended the University of Maryland in College Park, MD
and graduated in 1984. The School of Architecture provides a solid,
diverse education.

Early work experience- I spent the first eight or so years of my career
in small Architectural firms in the South Jersey area. I gained a great deal
of valuable experience with exposure to all aspects of the practice
of architecture and engineering.
I consider myself lucky to have been able to learn a lot from the
people I worked with.

Engineering work- After my work in smaller firms, I have been working
at larger engineering companies on complex industrial projects. I enjoy
the demanding execution requirements and engineering methodology
best used for these project types. Proper execution is critical to the
success of these larger, more complex projects.

Pharmaceutical/ Biotechnology Industry- Execution becomes even
more critical for pharmaceutical and biotechnology projects. Design
expertise must be combined with execution expertise in order to fulfill
cGMP requirements so often involved in these project types.

Current Work Environment- The ebb and flow of work among the
various engineering companies have lead to working for most of the major
engineering companies in the Delaware Valley, some for a much briefer
time than I would have liked.

However, this has given me the opportunity to work with a bunch of
different people...I've worked with good people on some great teams...

What's Next???- I intend to continue developing my skills and
experience as best I can...also to pursue the most interesting project work
I can find...I am also working on some writing and research projects.
