02Profile
A field leader who runs the work and the numbers.
I started on excavators and a rock crusher while finishing engineering school, then grew on site one level at a time: field and resident engineer, assistant superintendent, superintendent, chief superintendent and project manager, on self-perform public and private work.
Crews answer to their foremen; I answer for schedule, cost, pay estimates, quality and safety, from mobilization to closeout. Army service taught me safety discipline and how to decide under pressure.

04Featured project
Day 56 of 60. Four lanes. The road never closed.
Manuel Córdova Galarza Avenue, Quito • Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) • $5.4M
My role: Project Director and Chief Superintendent
Day 0 of 60
The problem
A four-lane urban avenue with no viable detour, and 6 to 9 inches of asphalt that was alligator-cracked, rutted and patched over failed trenches.
The method
Full-depth reclamation (FDR) with a reclaimer, asphalt emulsion and rejuvenating agent, building a stabilized base under a 3-inch hot-mix surface. Traffic kept moving with phased lane closures and contraflow.
The result
Finished early: provisional acceptance (akin to substantial completion) was requested with four days to spare, after absorbing about 8.8% added scope with no time extension.
05The edge
Most project managers buy aggregate. I’ve produced it.
I’ve run quarry, river and recycled material through tracked Kleemann and Powerscreen plants, with crews and fuel burn planned around plant output.
