    The idea of turning nothing into something and changing peoples’ lives through building and/or renovating - whether it be their work or home life.

  • What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
    The Department of Corrections inmate wing at Atlanta Medical Center.

  • What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
    Learn a trade and master it!

  • What’s your construction specialty?
    Complex renovations - renovations are full of unknowns and challenges that create a much more exciting team dynamic than often found in ground-up construction!

  • What attracted you to the construction industry?
    At one point in my life, I was an art major and I had a love for architecture so it seemed natural to take these two passions and go build something. I discovered building construction and the rest is history!

  • What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?
    I was on a complex school renovation that involved deconstructing the structure by cutting the spine out of the building and inserting a raised pop-up curtain wall structure in its place to flood the building with natural light. The existing pieces of the building that remained were structurally held in place by installing exposed post tension cables through the existing beams. The building was recognized for its innovative design and won Honor Awards from the Georgia chapter of the American Institute of Architects and South Atlantic Region, AIA - it was also featured in the movie “The Hate You Give!"

  • What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
    If you are looking for a job that provides routine and repetition, this is not your gig. If you thrive with change, love a good challenge, and enjoy problem-solving - jump in, expect to work hard, and you won’t be disappointed!

  • Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!
    I used to teach elementary school art K-5.
