An engineering foundation.
A builder’s perspective.
Inspired by my father’s career as a contractor, I pursued engineering and earned a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) from UC Berkeley, through its Leadership Program with an emphasis on Engineering Management and Civil Systems. That foundation shaped my path into construction leadership.
My background combines technical knowledge with practical project management experience across subcontractor and self-performed work management, supply chain coordination, estimating, preconstruction, financial operations, and field operations.
As a Senior Project Manager at Webcor, I worked on projects including San Francisco’s Moscone Center, the Four Seasons Residences in Beverly Hills and San Francisco, and Roblox’s headquarters in San Mateo. Today, as CEO of EDR Design Build, I bring that experience to residential construction throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
I continue to develop the skills that keep people and projects moving forward: communication, leadership, analysis, problem solving, teamwork, and negotiation.
