          <title>Newsletter - Los Angeles County Green Building Program Training</title>
           <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Residential and commercial building professionals can learn how to comply with green building standards enacted by Los Angeles County and the state by attending one of two free training sessions sponsored by the County on May 22 and 23 in Santa Monica.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The three-hour sessions will provide a comprehensive look at the state and County requirements and provide practical, real-world examples of how to comply with the often complex regulations. Builders, developers, architects, engineers and landscape architects who work on projects in the unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County are particularly encouraged to attend.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The remaining trainings will be held on Tuesday, May 22, and Wednesday, May 23 in Santa Monica in the first-floor training room at 2701 Ocean Park Boulevard. Tuesday&amp;rsquo;s session will be held from 1:30-4:30 p.m. and Wednesday&amp;rsquo;s class will be held from 9 a.m. to noon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

To Whom It May Concern :
 
 

I am writing to express my interest in the architectural and interior design position with your consulting firm.
 
I received my bachelor and master degree in Architecture and Urban design with honors in 2005 and 2007 respectively. My master thesis title is “Pire-sabz-chak-chak” where the series of organic buildings were planed.
 
I won two awards after graduation. The first prize was in 2009, the design for the renovation of the “SBR Co. Ltd.” office which was selected by Memar Awards. The second prize was for the same design which I received by Memari o Sakhteman Award the section of the Interior Design award in 2010.

In 2002, I opened my office “Amordad Design Developer”. Based on my personal values, I respond to my client’s inquiries with excellence in design. I create public or private spaces bringing natural and built environments in harmony in their specific context and place. The projects illustrated on this resume are examples of my experience as individual project architect and as a firm. I have over 10 years experience   with more than 100 projects on the Interior design, Construction, Architectural, Urban design, and land escape. 
In 2010, I came to the United States. I am planning to practice an architectural building as an Intern Architect, and like to practice interior and exterior design, and construction.
 
Please find attached a copy of my résumé for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration of my application. I look forward to your response and to further discussing my interests and qualifications with your firm.
 
Sincerely yours,

           <description>To whom it may concern:

I am a registered architect in Texas and Arizona, USA. 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 in the USA. 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 Architecture Degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and Masters of Science Architecture Degree from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (also validated by the University of Sao Paolo Brazil).

I have an international background having worked in projects in Africa, Europe, South Pacific, Asia, North America, and South America. I am a dual national representing the USA and Brazil. I have studied 4 languages that include English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I have also lived in 10 countries and visited another 50.

My career has had three influences to my knowledge and experience in the construction process, which are architecture, construction management (owner’s style representation), and financial (banking) related to construction and real estate development. 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 in the field. My interest is to further my credentials in design and development and apply my skills to a directorship level position with an architecture, real estate, design, or construction development team. I am open to international opportunities.

My architecture experience is very broad and would be the first influence from 1981-2012. I have worked on several 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.  I have been director of an architectural studio. 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 &amp; Merrill (SOM Chicago &amp; London), Ford Powel and Carson (San Antonio), CH2MHill (Dallas), Arcadis (Phoenix), Giffels (Phoenix &amp; Michigan), Arata Isosaki (Japan), Pei (NY), CRSS (Dallas), Lockheed Martin (AZ &amp; 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 2012. Additional skills from this period include value engineering, project management, technical support, construction administration, and a lead role since 1988. 

The Second influence of my career include owners representative style construction management services from 2000-2012.  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 &amp; 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 400 workers in the field, 6 prime contractors, and 10 projects simultaneously with 100 percent travel. Projects were in Arizona, New York, and Texas.

The third influence involved financial construction development from 2004 to 20012 and is included as a specialized development of influence two. My experience involved establishing the construction department for a bank that lends money to real estate developers. I was in charge of risk on over 500 million dollars in funds. 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 per month 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. I reported to the President and CEO. I was also involved in small real estate development projects, advised on risk to real estate development, and advised on budgeting and risk.

Presently I am involved in real estate development owner’s representation and architectural development. My current involvements are as follows:

I am associated with ETI Professionals for contract work with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency).  When required, responsibilities include review damaged public facilities (roads, buildings and/or bridges) then develop descriptions of the work and costs necessary for repairs and/or rebuilding of the site.  Work with public stakeholders to assist them with the FEMA Public Assistance process. 

Real estate development owner’s representation and architectural development.

Areas of specialization include owners’ representative style cm services, budgeting, financial, value engineering, architecture consultant, and development issues, lighting, and research. 

Housing renovations and construction management

Design and development drawings for 50,000 square foot house. 

Design and development drawings for 5 billion dollar cathedral.

Federal GSA security clearance through Colliers.

Published a book on science, philosophy, and metaphysics.

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 Architecture and Real Estate Development projects. I would love to work for your company as I would consider it an appropriate challenge and match for my skills and feel that I have plenty to offer.

Thank you.

          <title>Newsletter - Drylands Design Conference</title>
           <description>&lt;p&gt;Nowhere are the opportunities for global leadership in water-smart design greater than in the US West. Shifts in the economy, demographics, and climate are requiring westerners to rethink the centralized, energy-intensive water systems of the 20th century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do design professions have to contribute, and how can they be more effective?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This conference will re-examine the built environment of the arid and semi-arid west as a vast field of opportunities for water-smart design innovation at a range of scales, from building systems to infrastructure and landscape spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The conference will present and debate a portfolio of design strategies generated in response to the challenges set forth in the Drylands Design Competition, and explore the shifts in policy, practice, and pedagogy they suggest.&lt;/p&gt;

           <title>Lecture  Series - Los Angeles County Green Building Program Training</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Residential and commercial building professionals can learn how to comply with green building standards enacted by Los Angeles County and the state by attending one of two free training sessions sponsored by the County on May 22 and 23 in Santa Monica.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The three-hour sessions will provide a comprehensive look at the state and County requirements and provide practical, real-world examples of how to comply with the often complex regulations. Builders, developers, architects, engineers and landscape architects who work on projects in the unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County are particularly encouraged to attend.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The remaining trainings will be held on Tuesday, May 22, and Wednesday, May 23 in Santa Monica in the first-floor training room at 2701 Ocean Park Boulevard. Tuesday&amp;rsquo;s session will be held from 1:30-4:30 p.m. and Wednesday&amp;rsquo;s class will be held from 9 a.m. to noon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

To Whom It May Concern :
 
 

I am writing to express my interest in the architectural and interior design position with your consulting firm.
 
I received my bachelor and master degree in Architecture and Urban design with honors in 2005 and 2007 respectively. My master thesis title is “Pire-sabz-chak-chak” where the series of organic buildings were planed.
 
I won two awards after graduation. The first prize was in 2009, the design for the renovation of the “SBR Co. Ltd.” office which was selected by Memar Awards. The second prize was for the same design which I received by Memari o Sakhteman Award the section of the Interior Design award in 2010.

In 2002, I opened my office “Amordad Design Developer”. Based on my personal values, I respond to my client’s inquiries with excellence in design. I create public or private spaces bringing natural and built environments in harmony in their specific context and place. The projects illustrated on this resume are examples of my experience as individual project architect and as a firm. I have over 10 years experience   with more than 100 projects on the Interior design, Construction, Architectural, Urban design, and land escape. 
In 2010, I came to the United States. I am planning to practice an architectural building as an Intern Architect, and like to practice interior and exterior design, and construction.
 
Please find attached a copy of my résumé for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration of my application. I look forward to your response and to further discussing my interests and qualifications with your firm.
 
Sincerely yours,
 
 
Farshad Shagoshtasbi,

           <title>Lecture  Series - george james ducas</title>
          <description>To whom it may concern:

I am a registered architect in Texas and Arizona, USA. 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 in the USA. 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 Architecture Degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and Masters of Science Architecture Degree from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (also validated by the University of Sao Paolo Brazil).

I have an international background having worked in projects in Africa, Europe, South Pacific, Asia, North America, and South America. I am a dual national representing the USA and Brazil. I have studied 4 languages that include English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I have also lived in 10 countries and visited another 50.

My career has had three influences to my knowledge and experience in the construction process, which are architecture, construction management (owner’s style representation), and financial (banking) related to construction and real estate development. 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 in the field. My interest is to further my credentials in design and development and apply my skills to a directorship level position with an architecture, real estate, design, or construction development team. I am open to international opportunities.

My architecture experience is very broad and would be the first influence from 1981-2012. I have worked on several 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.  I have been director of an architectural studio. 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 &amp; Merrill (SOM Chicago &amp; London), Ford Powel and Carson (San Antonio), CH2MHill (Dallas), Arcadis (Phoenix), Giffels (Phoenix &amp; Michigan), Arata Isosaki (Japan), Pei (NY), CRSS (Dallas), Lockheed Martin (AZ &amp; 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 2012. Additional skills from this period include value engineering, project management, technical support, construction administration, and a lead role since 1988. 

The Second influence of my career include owners representative style construction management services from 2000-2012.  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 &amp; 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 400 workers in the field, 6 prime contractors, and 10 projects simultaneously with 100 percent travel. Projects were in Arizona, New York, and Texas.

The third influence involved financial construction development from 2004 to 20012 and is included as a specialized development of influence two. My experience involved establishing the construction department for a bank that lends money to real estate developers. I was in charge of risk on over 500 million dollars in funds. 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 per month 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. I reported to the President and CEO. I was also involved in small real estate development projects, advised on risk to real estate development, and advised on budgeting and risk.

Presently I am involved in real estate development owner’s representation and architectural development. My current involvements are as follows:

I am associated with ETI Professionals for contract work with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency).  When required, responsibilities include review damaged public facilities (roads, buildings and/or bridges) then develop descriptions of the work and costs necessary for repairs and/or rebuilding of the site.  Work with public stakeholders to assist them with the FEMA Public Assistance process. 

Real estate development owner’s representation and architectural development.

Areas of specialization include owners’ representative style cm services, budgeting, financial, value engineering, architecture consultant, and development issues, lighting, and research. 

Housing renovations and construction management

Design and development drawings for 50,000 square foot house. 

Design and development drawings for 5 billion dollar cathedral.

Federal GSA security clearance through Colliers.

Published a book on science, philosophy, and metaphysics.

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 Architecture and Real Estate Development projects. I would love to work for your company as I would consider it an appropriate challenge and match for my skills and feel that I have plenty to offer.

Thank you.

           <title>Lecture  Series - Drylands Design Conference</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;Nowhere are the opportunities for global leadership in water-smart design greater than in the US West. Shifts in the economy, demographics, and climate are requiring westerners to rethink the centralized, energy-intensive water systems of the 20th century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do design professions have to contribute, and how can they be more effective?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This conference will re-examine the built environment of the arid and semi-arid west as a vast field of opportunities for water-smart design innovation at a range of scales, from building systems to infrastructure and landscape spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The conference will present and debate a portfolio of design strategies generated in response to the challenges set forth in the Drylands Design Competition, and explore the shifts in policy, practice, and pedagogy they suggest.&lt;/p&gt;

          <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Residential and commercial building professionals can learn how to comply with green building standards enacted by Los Angeles County and the state by attending one of two free training sessions sponsored by the County on May 22 and 23 in Santa Monica.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The three-hour sessions will provide a comprehensive look at the state and County requirements and provide practical, real-world examples of how to comply with the often complex regulations. Builders, developers, architects, engineers and landscape architects who work on projects in the unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County are particularly encouraged to attend.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The remaining trainings will be held on Tuesday, May 22, and Wednesday, May 23 in Santa Monica in the first-floor training room at 2701 Ocean Park Boulevard. Tuesday&amp;rsquo;s session will be held from 1:30-4:30 p.m. and Wednesday&amp;rsquo;s class will be held from 9 a.m. to noon.&lt;/div&gt;

           <title>Specification Writing Classes</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;HOW TO WRITE A SPECIFICATION SECTION teaches basic spec writing skills to architects and project managers who need to produce specification sections for substitution requests, owner&amp;rsquo;s changes, or supplements to office guide specifications. The class is an in-depth review of the MasterFormat and SectionFormat/PageFormat with an overview of UniFormat and the Preliminary Project Description. Technical language and standards will be covered along with online resources including: manufacturers&amp;rsquo; guidespecs, ARCAT, Sweets, Blue Book, and discussion forums such as 4specs and CSI, as well as available guide specifications systems by ARCOM and others. Participants will write specification sections &amp;ndash; short and long form. By the end of the class, students will be able to complete a specification section which complies with the CSI principles, and is clear, concise and complete.&lt;/p&gt;

To Whom It May Concern :
 
 

I am writing to express my interest in the architectural and interior design position with your consulting firm.
 
I received my bachelor and master degree in Architecture and Urban design with honors in 2005 and 2007 respectively. My master thesis title is “Pire-sabz-chak-chak” where the series of organic buildings were planed.
 
I won two awards after graduation. The first prize was in 2009, the design for the renovation of the “SBR Co. Ltd.” office which was selected by Memar Awards. The second prize was for the same design which I received by Memari o Sakhteman Award the section of the Interior Design award in 2010.

In 2002, I opened my office “Amordad Design Developer”. Based on my personal values, I respond to my client’s inquiries with excellence in design. I create public or private spaces bringing natural and built environments in harmony in their specific context and place. The projects illustrated on this resume are examples of my experience as individual project architect and as a firm. I have over 10 years experience   with more than 100 projects on the Interior design, Construction, Architectural, Urban design, and land escape. 
In 2010, I came to the United States. I am planning to practice an architectural building as an Intern Architect, and like to practice interior and exterior design, and construction.
 
Please find attached a copy of my résumé for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration of my application. I look forward to your response and to further discussing my interests and qualifications with your firm.
 
Sincerely yours,

          <description>To whom it may concern:

I am a registered architect in Texas and Arizona, USA. 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 in the USA. 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 Architecture Degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and Masters of Science Architecture Degree from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (also validated by the University of Sao Paolo Brazil).

I have an international background having worked in projects in Africa, Europe, South Pacific, Asia, North America, and South America. I am a dual national representing the USA and Brazil. I have studied 4 languages that include English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I have also lived in 10 countries and visited another 50.

My career has had three influences to my knowledge and experience in the construction process, which are architecture, construction management (owner’s style representation), and financial (banking) related to construction and real estate development. 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 in the field. My interest is to further my credentials in design and development and apply my skills to a directorship level position with an architecture, real estate, design, or construction development team. I am open to international opportunities.

My architecture experience is very broad and would be the first influence from 1981-2012. I have worked on several 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.  I have been director of an architectural studio. 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 &amp; Merrill (SOM Chicago &amp; London), Ford Powel and Carson (San Antonio), CH2MHill (Dallas), Arcadis (Phoenix), Giffels (Phoenix &amp; Michigan), Arata Isosaki (Japan), Pei (NY), CRSS (Dallas), Lockheed Martin (AZ &amp; 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 2012. Additional skills from this period include value engineering, project management, technical support, construction administration, and a lead role since 1988. 

The Second influence of my career include owners representative style construction management services from 2000-2012.  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 &amp; 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 400 workers in the field, 6 prime contractors, and 10 projects simultaneously with 100 percent travel. Projects were in Arizona, New York, and Texas.

The third influence involved financial construction development from 2004 to 20012 and is included as a specialized development of influence two. My experience involved establishing the construction department for a bank that lends money to real estate developers. I was in charge of risk on over 500 million dollars in funds. 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 per month 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. I reported to the President and CEO. I was also involved in small real estate development projects, advised on risk to real estate development, and advised on budgeting and risk.

Presently I am involved in real estate development owner’s representation and architectural development. My current involvements are as follows:

I am associated with ETI Professionals for contract work with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency).  When required, responsibilities include review damaged public facilities (roads, buildings and/or bridges) then develop descriptions of the work and costs necessary for repairs and/or rebuilding of the site.  Work with public stakeholders to assist them with the FEMA Public Assistance process. 

Real estate development owner’s representation and architectural development.

Areas of specialization include owners’ representative style cm services, budgeting, financial, value engineering, architecture consultant, and development issues, lighting, and research. 

Housing renovations and construction management

Design and development drawings for 50,000 square foot house. 

Design and development drawings for 5 billion dollar cathedral.

Federal GSA security clearance through Colliers.

Published a book on science, philosophy, and metaphysics.

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 Architecture and Real Estate Development projects. I would love to work for your company as I would consider it an appropriate challenge and match for my skills and feel that I have plenty to offer.

Thank you.

           <title>Drylands Design Conference</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;Nowhere are the opportunities for global leadership in water-smart design greater than in the US West. Shifts in the economy, demographics, and climate are requiring westerners to rethink the centralized, energy-intensive water systems of the 20th century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do design professions have to contribute, and how can they be more effective?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This conference will re-examine the built environment of the arid and semi-arid west as a vast field of opportunities for water-smart design innovation at a range of scales, from building systems to infrastructure and landscape spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The conference will present and debate a portfolio of design strategies generated in response to the challenges set forth in the Drylands Design Competition, and explore the shifts in policy, practice, and pedagogy they suggest.&lt;/p&gt;
