About Me

& My Personal Commitment to Service

During my 40+ years of professional practice, the most satisfying part of my journey has been helping my clients define and successfully meet all their project goals and objectives. The concept of predicting and solving their potential problems before they happen is particularly personally rewarding. When the only surprises are GOOD surprises like ending up under budget, completed early and the client loving the finished product beyond expectation, I feel professionally fulfilled. I love developing and working in a team environment and appreciate that the only way all the good surprises occur on complex projects is when a cohesive team works together with a common goal. Because of my team focused approach most of my close friends are my clients and design & construction industry cohorts I have had the honor to support.

My "Why Keyser"

I had set up an AZ based LLC to focus on serving as a consulting owners rep/project manager. I was fortunate to meet Jim Sadler who introduced me to the wonderful Keyser team. Everything about Keyser rung true with me. The Guiding Principles were totally in line with how I ran my Architectural practice for over 25 years. For me being part of the Keyser family is a perfect fit.
