While this is a Business Development position, my primary function is to be an architects concierge, utilizing my 25 years experience to provide a streamlined information conduit between the manufacutures of the products we distribute and the visionary teams that specify them, primarily in the high-end residential space. I am particularly well versed in doors & windows, and am intimate with most major manufactures product lines. I have resources to custom build anything that cannot be bought. I keep up to date with current installation standards and practices and have considerable experience with the challenges that consistantly must be overcome with the complexities of developing fenestration systems. I pride myself on building relationships that create value for not only myself, but more importantly, my clients, my team, and the company that provides this opportunity to all of us, Golden State Lumber.
