I’m blessed to have a beautiful family – my wife and two boys – all of whom keep me busy! Whether it’s a Saturday morning soccer game, a Sunday afternoon at the beach, or just lounging out by our pool in the backyard, the time I spend with my family is precious to me. I’ve always taken a family first approach to my life, and maintaining a work-life balance across the WERX COMPANIES, is something that I, and we as a company, take tremendous pride in.
I began my formal training at the University of Florida where I obtained my Bachelor of Design and Master of Architecture degrees. During my studies, I focused much of my attention on 3D modeling, renderings, and presentations. I honed my skills throughout each semester, where I always went above and beyond to produce the most visually compelling content for my projects. During my graduate courses, I was fortunate to be asked to teach digital media as a GTA, effectively helping to pave the way for future students by expanding the “CAD Class” to include other forms of visual expression, including 3D Max, Premiere, Form-Z, Photoshop, and of course AutoCAD.
Prior to starting BIMWERX, I interned at an AE firm each summer where I gained an applicable knowledge of building structures and office standards. This invaluable experience combined with my digital media competency facilitated my first job out of college at one of the premiere architecture firms in Jacksonville, Florida. During that tenure, I was able to work on many project types including worship, hotels, office buildings, senior living facilities, and multifamily housing, as well as run my own projects. In the mid-2000’s, I began developing my knowledge of Building Information Modeling and construction while serving as BIM Manager at different architecture firms. Wanting to become even more well-rounded, I became the Virtual Design and Construction Manager for a large commercial contractor, where I worked on both federal and non-federal projects, gained a full understanding of contracts and construction processes, and became proficient at estimating and bidding.
