📖 Summary

Kentucky ex-pat, with a strange resume that's half-architect, half-librarian. Over the last thirteen years, I've worked for a series of architectural firms, construction companies, and design libraries - not just here in the Midwest, but back East and down South as well. If I specialize in anything, it's using technology to better organize and improve the tools we use to shape the built environment.Digital Asset Manager @ Procures, develops, and manages digital content of the highest quality for just-in-time distribution to project teams. Performs workflow analysis to identify opportunities for process improvement and superior project delivery. Establishes collaborative methodologies that drive the use and reuse of knowledge within the firm. Promotes best practices, design technology standards, information-sharing strategies, and consolidation of common efforts as manifested through a core collection of BIM component libraries. From August 2014 to Present (1 year 5 months) Greater Chicago AreaIntegrated Construction Coordinator @ Led integrated project delivery and coordination efforts in preconstruction and construction phases, implemented advanced software applications on site, trained project team members in CAD/BIM technology use, performed logistical studies, and assisted project leadership throughout the complete lifecycle of a building project by assembling detailed building information models for internal evaluation, shop drawing production, and strategic planning. From March 2013 to July 2014 (1 year 5 months) Greater Chicago AreaVirtual Design Construction Coordinator @ Used a suite of next generation building information modeling (BIM) tools such as Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, and AutoCAD MEP to create detailed virtual simulations of planned construction projects.
