Background:
My journey began on the road, presenting building products directly to architects, engineers, and interior designers. This hands-on experience provided invaluable insights into the challenges manufacturers face in the specification process. I've had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of companies, from family-owned businesses to billion-dollar manufacturers, always focusing on creative and cost-effective specification strategies.
Education:
• MFA, Film Production - University of Miami (1998)
• BS, Film-Cinema-Video Studies - The University of Texas at Austin (1996)
My unique background in film studies enhances my ability to create compelling narratives around building products, making complex technical information accessible and engaging for specifiers. I’m passionate about innovation in construction and always eager to connect with fellow industry leaders!
