Speaking
Thirty-six years in AEC and infrastructure work left me with more stories than PowerPoint slides. I speak on business development, servant leadership, and design procurement — to rooms that actually do this work, not to a generic conference circuit.
Topics
The Seller-Doer Mindset
How technical professionals build business development skills without becoming someone they’re not — proposal strategy, opportunity spotting, and relationship-building that doesn’t feel like sales.
Cracking the Design Consultant Code
What project owners actually look for when selecting a design firm, and how to be the firm that gets picked — for both sides of the table.
Servant Leadership Under Pressure
Leading technical teams through real deadlines and real stakes — not leadership theory, but what it looks like when the project’s on the line.
Avoiding the Claims Trap
The project delivery mistakes that turn manageable jobs into six-figure claims, and the habits that prevent them — for construction managers and owners’ reps.
From Doer to Leader
The transition every technical expert faces eventually — moving from producing the work to leading the people who produce it.
Public Agency Procurement, Done Right
For capital program leaders: structuring RFQ/RFP processes, evaluation criteria, and interview protocols that actually surface the best consultant, not just the cheapest one.
Faith, Integrity, and the P&L
Running a business with integrity without either compromising results or hiding behind faith language — for leaders who want both.
Building a Firm That Doesn’t Depend on You
Key-person risk, operational alignment, and the sequencing that lets a growing AEC firm scale past its founder’s calendar.
Format
Available as a keynote, half-day workshop, or panel discussion — formats adapt to the audience and time available.
