Aviation Project Director

Burns & McDonnell was added to Crunchbase.

Facility design, site development and construction have always been a passion of mine. It is simply part of my genetic make-up with generations of my family being involved in the development, design, and construction industries. I started building houses in high school, went to engineering school at Mizzou, and began working for an engineering firm my sophomore year of college. Since 1995, I have used my civil engineering education and construction background to design and construct thousands of acres of commercial, industrial, and residential projects. With many years of experience developing concepts with owners, presenting projects at public hearings, and working with public and regulatory officials, I have a knack for building consensus with all stakeholders from concept through completion to achieve the necessary permitting and entitlements for a wide range of projects. I am a licensed professional engineer in Missouri and Kentucky, hold NCEES certification, and I am a LEED Accredited Professional. Specialties: Project management, construction management, aviation facility projects, long term planning, conceptual layout and design, storm water management and design, street design, environmental engineering, solid waste management, landfill design, and public speaking. I am also very involved in local community organizations. I was in the KC Chamber Centurions Program from 2007-09, I served on the Board of Directors for Ozanam from 2006-2012, I served as Chair of the Parish Council for Christ the King Church from 2004-2006, and President of Friends of the River - KC from 2010-2012. I currently serve on the Advisory Board for Friends of the River - KC. I have also spent much time volunteering for Alzheimer's Association, YouthFriends, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to volunteer and serve these great organizations.
