Confusion, hard work, working late, frustration and making many mistakes.

I desperately needed someone to tell me "do this, then this." so with 14 years of experience in large construction projects behind me (and the scars to prove it)...teaching you a simpler way of project control has become something I truly enjoy.

But after teaching almost 1,000 engineers, here is my ultimate goal.

Help you learn the core foundations and understand why we do everything the way it is done.

Teach a proven step-by-step process that is based on both science and logic.

Have the confidence and knowledge to engage in arguments, add value to your project and pass interviews.
