What ERA value speaks most to you and why?

Service. To me, overall service is what provides a lasting impression for the client.

What is a fun fact about yourself or a hidden talent you have?

I have never hired a service/repair person to fix anything for me. So, my hidden talent? I can fix anything.

What is the most unusual challenge you have helped solve on a project and how have you navigated it?

Helping to transition precast detailing from AutoCAD to Revit. Persistence has been key.
