My Expert Service
|
|
I am able to help individuals who need career counseling on the construction industry and all the employment opportunities and expectations as well as education level. I can help provide services of locating education programs that fit individual needs and education programs that fit company needs. For companies, I can either refer them to educational programs that fit their training needs or bring in consultants that will customize construction management training needs. I can also assist companies in understanding how to better market and attract new construction management graduates and interns and what these students are looking for in compensation and career paths.

Experience & Qualifications
|
Current founder of a university construction management program that has over 300 majors in the campus based undergraduate program and 20 majors in its complete online masters program. All this was grown from 0 students in 2002 to its current demand where graduates experience 99% placement and an average of 3 job offers with high starting salaries.
Previously, I was on a leave of absence from the University of Florida's Building Construction Program working in The Netherlands for the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building Construction (CIB) as their Assistant Secretary General. There I was involved with organizations from all over the world and would travel to support over 50 commissions of experts performing research into all aspects of building and construction.
I have been an Assistant Professor in the University of Florida's Building Construction program where I performed research into Lean Construction and worked closely with the American Council of Construction Education (ACCE), was an Educator-at-Large member of the Certified Professional Constructor's (CPC) National Commission, and a regional director for the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC). Before the University of Florida, I was both on the faculty and was a graduate student in Purdue University's Building Construction Program. There I worked on improving Construction Continuing Education Programs and created his website called ConstructionEducation.com that maintains a wealth of construction information. I have been a co-author or author of numerous refereed articles during his time at both universities.
I have also worked for three different construction companies. The last was Cherne Contracting Corporation where he was involved in Industrial Construction day-to-day field activities at the ARCO refinery in Southern California. I also worked for Raytheon Engineers in Massachusetts where he focused on the cost issues of ongoing global projects in Industrial Construction and worked for Westinghouse Savannah River Site in South Carolina on waste and environmental construction projects where I focused on scheduling issues. I have also consulted on special issues such as Lean Construction with Graycor Construction Corporation in Chicago, Illinois.
