Empower your workforce
Strengthen Your Company.
Training is an investment that helps you recruit, retain, and develop the right people. When your team has the skills to work efficiently, productivity rises and costly rework declines.
At Build Your Know, we equip your workforce with the confidence, knowledge, and skills to perform at their best. From new hires to project leaders, our training programs are designed to help your team manage risk, boost productivity, and drive results across every level of your organization.
Our mission is simple: to transform your workforce into capable, motivated leaders. We partner with you to create and deliver a customized training plan that aligns with your goals and elevates performance where it matters most — on the job.
With over 20 years of experience in commercial and industrial construction projects across the U.S. and internationally, I’ve served in roles including project manager, owner’s representative, site materials manager, and project engineer. This hands-on experience gives me a deep and practical understanding of the construction industry.
My expertise is further supported by a PhD in Adult Learning and Curriculum Development and experience as a college professor in the School of Construction Management at Purdue University.
As the Founder of Build Your Know, LLC, I combine practical field knowledge with academic insight to design, deliver, and evaluate targeted training programs. I’m passionate about developing individuals and organizations to strengthen and advance the construction workforce.
