    Summary

    My professional journey began with a solid foundation in design when I graduated from the New York Institute of Technology, specializing in Architecture and Construction Management. I embarked on my career in the construction industry with Disalvo Contracting, focusing on high-end residential projects where I honed my skills in luxury customer service and the delivery of exquisite, custom finishes for discerning clients.

    As my ambitions grew, I sought to take on large-scale construction projects. This led me to RG Glass Carvart, where I assumed the role of lead construction manager for the interior ornamental metals and glass work on the prestigious billion-dollar Baccarat Hotel project. Managing a substantial $20 million scope of work, the project's luxury interiors received widespread acclaim.

    Building on this success, I joined forces with Tishman AECOM, a renowned industry player, where I spearheaded a significant project at 160 Leroy Street. This 12-story high-end residential building posed unique challenges and high expectations from both the owner and designer. Nevertheless, I excelled in design development, procurement, and contract management, skillfully overseeing over $180 million in construction within a compressed 4-month timeline.

    After several years as a general contractor, I sought to specialize and become an expert in a specific trade—Exterior Glass. This journey led me to partner with Schuco, the world's leading company in exterior glass and aluminum fenestration systems. Together, we established a manufacturing and construction services division, enabling us to provide comprehensive exterior glass solutions directly to our valued customers.

    Today, I bring my extensive professional experience to Florida, where I am well-equipped with the knowledge and expertise to establish our construction firm. Our goal is to offer the same high-level services and expertise found in large construction management firms, combined with exceptional customer service, to provide effective solutions for our local community.
