I have spent the last 3+ years learning, developing, and implementing BIM & construction workflows. I was responsible for product expansions in Europe & Asia, and have worked personally with close to half the ENR top 100 Contractors here in the United states. I have a huge passion for sustainability, and am a LEED AP BD+C. I am also skilled at public speaking and facilitating larger discussions across groups and teams

I was born and rasied in Rutland, Vermont. I attended the University of Vermont and graduated in 2016 with a BS in Civil Engineering. After graduation I stumbled upon this company Assemble Systems, a BIM start up that was looking to connect design and construction. I joined Assemble as their first dedicated techincal engineer, and went on to lead our growing team of 5 engineers, author our user manual, was tasked with expanding Assemble globally. After being aquired by Autodesk, I continued to work and learn the AEC industry and found myself a Product Specialist for Assemble. After 4 years I decided it was time to spread my wings and decided to join Autodesk's Consulting team, as the Senior Business Consulant for construction. I continue to support our largest accounts but with a much wider lense and their business challenges at the heart of the discussion.

My experience working with Assemble has given me a ton of knowledge of the AEC industry. The person who hired me had originally told me that i was gonna get 10 years worth of expeirence in the first year, as I would be working with hundreds of companies rather than doing just one job day after day. That is exactly what I did, I have spent the last few years working with the most innovative companies in the industry, and showing non innovative ones what they are missing. Through this time I have not only gathered and expertice in Assemble, but proficency in Microsoft Power BI & the rest of the MS Suite, BIM360, PlanGrid, Building Connected & TradeTapp, and Salesforce. I also have a working knowledge of Revit and Navisworks. My latest interest is in sustainable construction, I have always been an advocate for green living, but the waste of construction makes me sick to my stomach. I am a LEED AP BD+C, I frequently write articles on LinkedIn, and often speak on the subject of techonolgy and sustainabilty at conferences and webinars.

It is safe to say that I am not afraid to put in the work, I like to keep myself busy, and am known by my colleagues for always going above and beyond. I easily pick up and learn different softwares, and have a unqiue skill of being able to relate complex techincal concepts to non techincal people. I have spoken at many conferences in front of thousands of people around the word evanglizing BIM and Assemble and am not afraid to speak my mind in a respectful way if I disagree with someones opinion. My main goal for my career was to make a meaningful difference in how our society operates and any futher steps I can take I would be excited for.
