I’ve always been wired to figure out how things work — drawn to problem solving, systems, and seeing how all the pieces come together.
Between growing up in a hands-on, DIY household and spending the last decade+ in commercial construction - managing projects and now working behind the scenes improving the systems, tools, and processes teams use to build them, I’ve built a foundation that blends construction knowledge with real-world execution.
