My personal "why" is rooted in the people I work with and the opportunities VEC provides. This is a place where you’re encouraged to be yourself, with all your strengths and imperfections, and where you have every opportunity to grow. When you commit to the process and focus on building success together, you truly feel that your contribution matters. You’re a valued part of the team and company, and that sense of belonging and shared purpose is incredibly motivating.
Success isn’t always about smooth execution or perfect outcomes. Sometimes, real success is simply not dropping the ball, finding a path forward, even when things don’t go as planned. I’m especially proud of the projects where everything was challenging, where the situation wasn’t profitable as much as we wanted or ideal, and we could’ve walked away. But we didn’t. We stayed, we delivered, we worked through the issues, and we honored our commitment to the client. That kind of decision — choosing to stay, to problem-solve, and to protect the relationship, turns a tough project into a long-term success. We didn’t just complete the work; we grew trust and proved that we’re true partners. Construction doesn’t always go the way we want, it’s not always wins and highlights. But when you act with integrity and stay committed, that’s what earns respect and builds strong partnerships that last.
It’s hard to choose just one — but if I had to, I would say Piña Colada . I can also say about "Kardashians" house, "Vegas dancing" and Tahoe skiing. All these moments perfectly captured the spirit of the team

I’ve had a chance over the last decade plus to engage with owners, builders, and designers on projects all over the world. One key insight is that many of the challenges are shared by each stakeholder group, but they are approaching solutions from a different perspective. I bring a unique and broad industry perspective that will help our clients work better together as effective teams across the supply chain by bringing clarity to the challenges they face and driving innovative solutions that position VEC as a trusted partner. My background in data and AI also brings a perspective on the importance of data governance and standardization, which becomes increasingly important as more of the industry adopts cutting-edge tools. My hope is to leverage this expertise to modernize and streamline VEC’s operations internally, and to deliver value to our clients to help the best build better.
VEC was built on innovation from the start. Our proven track record of using advanced technology solutions to deliver real-world value for projects doesn’t need to be reinvented, because the strong foundation is there. But we need to evolve, and help our client evolve with us. Innovation is in our DNA, and that necessitates change and growth as technology evolves. We are in a period of unprecedented change across the industry and the world at large, and my goal is to build systems and processes that will allow us to stay ahead of the curve. The opportunity for the next phase of growth at VEC is to expand our breadth and our depth to deliver value to our clients across the entire project lifecycle.
