Subject: resume for city manager
To whom it may concern:
I am a registered architect in Texas and Arizona. I am also a registered
Interior Design in Texas. Since I am NCARB (National Council of
Architectural Registration Boards) Certified, I have a file in
Washington DC that allows me to become registered in other states. I am
currently a member of the AIA (American Institute of Architects) and
also have in the past been a member of IESNA (Illuminating Engineering
Society of North America), and ASID (American Society of Interior
Designers). I have a Bachelor of Science and Masters degree in
Architecture.
My career has had three phases, which are architecture, construction
management (owner’s style representation), and financial (banking)
related to construction. I have represented parties involved on all
sides of the development process to include real estate developer, bank,
architect, interior designer, owner, contractor, and construction
management team. My interest is to further my credentials with a real
estate license and apply my skills to a directorship level position with
a real estate, design, or construction development team. I am open to
international opportunities.
My architecture experience is very broad. I have worked on projects as
large as 2 billion dollars (Broadgate in London) and coordinated the
efforts of those in an office setting as large as 20, which included
consultants. Firms that I have been associated with directly or
indirectly have involved many prestigious architects, corporations,
government entities, real estate developers, and contractors. These
companies, authorities, and architects include Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill (SOM Chicago & London), Ford Powel and Carson (San Antonio),
CH2MHill (Dallas), Arcadis (Phoenix), Giffels (Phoenix & Michigan),
Arata Isosaki (Japan), Pei (NY), CRSS (Dallas), Lockheed Martin (AZ &
DC), Rosehaugh Stanhope Developments (London), Frank Gehry (Santa
Monica), City of Dallas, Disney (FL), Nissan (TX), Regional Transit
Authority (Phoenix), TSA (AZ), DFW Airport (DFW), Peninsula Hotel (CA),
Rosewood Properties (Dallas), Sheraton Hotel (MA), Marriott Hotel (AZ),
and others. The largest architectural company I worked for was SOM
Chicago and had a staff over 1000. My career in architecture and project
management spans from 1981 to 2000. Within a 2 year period from 1983 to
1985 I completed a master of architecture degree at California
Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California. I also had
this same degree approved by the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil as
equivalent to degree in said University. Additional skills from this
period include value engineering, project management, technical support,
construction administration, and a lead role since 1988. Projects were
national and international to include Europe, Asia, South Pacific, and
Africa.
The Second phase of my career include owners representative style
construction management services from 2000-2008. This includes on site
field representation, cost estimating, budget evaluation, client
coordination, and generally supervising and advising on the process from
pre-construction through construction to substantial completion of the
project and or final inspection. The positions were responsible for
pre-construction such as management and assistance related to data
gathering, coordination with project team players, establishing scope of
work, establishing bill of materials, interviewing
architect/contractors, establishing facility construction or
modifications requirements, following design standards, permits,
security passes, and developing construction solicitation packages. The
various positions were responsible for construction supervision such as
awarding contracts, supervising construction progress & procedures,
post-construction inspection, and compliance with specifications. I
resolved issues between client and government authorities, agencies, and
stakeholders. During this phase I supervised the work of as many as 350
workers in the field, 6 prime contractors, and 10 projects
simultaneously with 100 percent travel. Projects were in Arizona and New
York.
The third phase involved financial construction development from 2004 to
2006 and is included as a specialized development of phase two. My
experience involved establishing the construction department for a bank
that lends money to real estate developers. The position involved
architecture, construction management, risk review, banking, knowledge
of multi-state construction issues-laws, coordination with developers,
hiring inspectors, site inspections, budget review, documentation, and
multi-state supervision of 200 construction/land projects (budget over
500 million) . I supervised over 100 active projects reporting on them
on a monthly basis, wrote a monthly executive report, and also developed
the department construction manual on processes, procedures, and risk
controls. Project types included commercial, retail, office,
multi-family residential, single-family residential, industrial,
education, multi-use, hospitality, automotive, restaurant, and land
development. Marketing also involved approximately one billion in
referrals.
My background now incorporates experiences in financial construction
(banking), architecture, interior design, real estate development,
construction management, budgeting, and risk review. I am ready for
career development and to match my skill set to an appropriate position.
My long term goal is in real estate development.
Thank you.
