Start Training

My experience spans from being a pipe fitter's helper to managing materials on a billion dollar international project. I’ve served in roles including project manager, owner’s representative, site materials manager, project engineer and more. These hands-on experiences give 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.

At 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.
