What do you hope attendees will gain at your webinar?

In this webinar attendees will learn about different approaches to estimating and bidding work, and gain an understanding of some of the tools available that are purpose built to support the bidding process.

What discussions do you look forward to having with the attendees?

As a part of this webinar, we will discuss with attendees common business issues and current challenges facing the industry.

What do you enjoy most about your role?

Being able to interface with a broad spectrum of customers across many different construction markets.

How did you get into the industry?

I’ve been involved in construction since working part time during college on local construction projects.  Twenty-three years ago, I was interested in starting my own construction company, but instead, I became involved in working with contractors and helping them solve their business problems through automation.  I’ve had the ability to travel to over 30 countries and work with all types of contractors, owners and engineering firms designing, building and maintaining assets around the world.

Where is your favourite place in the world and why?

Other than my home base here in Arizona, I absolutely love Lebanon.  I have had the opportunity to travel there many times for business, and always found the people and the culture to be so warm and welcoming.
