About Me

I'm a cost estimator by trade, with an associates in Engineering Science. I started out on the owner's side in facilities - co-ops with the IBM Data Center, Olin Chemical, and Kraft General Foods - and from there I've rotated through the construction industry roughly every five years: architect, contractor, design firm, CM, estimating software, and facilities software.

That circuit is where Precon Tools comes from. Every role sees the same trade-offs from a different angle, and good preconstruction work depends on respecting all of them - including the owner who has to operate the building long after the project closes out.

Outside of work, I'm a husband and father of two, and we enjoy helping others including families new to the US. When I can, I'm on the water in a kayak.

What e4G Means

e4G stands for everything for God.

I don't fully understand God, but I see too much amazing design to think that He doesn't exist. e4G helps me keep a proper perspective, including stewardship.

About These Tools

e4G Precon Tools is an independent project, a small set of web-based analysis tools for preconstruction teams to develop defendable content for the benefit of the project team.
