Why the A/E/C Industry? I’ve worked in the A/E/C industry for the past 30 years and love being involved with projects because you are part of the process from conceptual design through design development and then into construction until the project is completed. I especially enjoy collaborating with the architects and design engineers–seeing an idea come to life is exciting and inspiring.  As manager of procurement and subcontracts at DPS Group allows me to interact with all disciplines–giving me the opportunity to continually learn and broaden my knowledge base. 

Advice/Keys to Success: The A/E/C industry is an ever changing, dynamic and fast-paced field, so if you can handle these challenges I believe that you will find the rewards of seeing the completed project.  It makes it all worth the hard work.
