I AM:

I am not a salesman, I am not a marketer, I did not come from some other industry. I am educated as a mechanical engineer from the University of Arkansas (Go HOGS) and spent three of those years studying architecture. I served the first decade of my career working in construction project management for a very strong general contractor (www.vccusa.com ) that built retail shopping centers, hotels, multifmaily and commercial office projects across the country. During that time, I was fortunate enough to be loaned out to one of our developer’s (www.jacobydevelopment.com/) in Atlanta, GA to serve as a Development Manager when they needed help. Soon after I relocated to Los Angeles, California to open VCC’s original office up in Culver City. At the time I had no idea what a great education this was and how it would serve me in the years to come as an Executive Recruiter in Real Estate Development and Construction Management, but I am thankful for it.

I am not here to preach about a recruiting process or to rehash the same sales points that others do. I am different and our company is different because I came from the industry, and I love the industry. I have worked around every position you can name (CEOs, CFOs, Contollers, Project Managers, Superintendent, Project Engineers, Developers, Attorneys, Owner’s Reps, Asset Manager, Financiers…), and I’ve seen the best in class and the worst in class. Through this experience I’ve gained a keen eye for the quality candidates and finding that missing piece for your organization.  At GES we don’t throw resumes at our clients in hopes that something sticks. We do the research, we take the time to study, we say “NO” so you don’t have to. Perhaps that’s were I earned the nickname “Bull” but I wear it proudly for my clients and our candidates.

As I always say “Run with the bulls and shine like a star!”
