Author Information

I have been in the construction industry since 1983. I hold a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering. Held several licenses including a B-General Contractor and Real Estate. Have a Construction Management consulting Business in Los Angeles, California where we consult to General Contractors, Owners, Architects, and provide expert witness service to Construction Attorneys. Throughout my career, I have held a wide variety of positions and had the opportunity to work in various roles, from digging dirt in a crawl space to a Senior Project Manager overseeing over 560 projects from inception to closeout. I have spoken in several seminars, offered training programs to many construction professionals, taught Construction Manager and Scheduling in a local college. In performing so many different roles, superintendent, Project Manager for Contractors, Construction Manager Consulting to Owners, Civil Engineering Design, Drafting Surveys and more, gave me a well-rounded perspective about the various players involved in projects. Understanding other people's perspectives of the job helped me become a better Construction Manager. What inspired me to write this book is my teaching practice. When I taught Construction Management at night to working adults, all I requested the students to do is attend and listen. I never opened a textbook; I presented the whole course explaining the various principles from my real life experience. I got very high evaluation grades from students and they felt that they learned the most in my class compared to their other typical classes, presented the standard way. So, I decided to share this idea with others by writing this book. This book will make an immediate impact on your current job and future jobs in managing construction.
