  • Jun 1995 - Nov 2017

  GMC performed numerous large and small construction projects in both new and existing homes. Over the years I followed green building trends and incorporated advanced practices and materials into my projects. Practices included cost-sharing with clients on recycling tasks, re-using and re-purposing existing materials, using local materials, reducing off-gassing in projects, planning and renovating for multiple uses and future change (i.e accessibility and life change), and researching best products and practices. I also constantly advocated for education among my material suppliers and sub-trades. Show less
