The Right Hire Changes Everything
Your Next Move Should Be Your Best One.
Retained search for AEC companies
making hires that can't miss.
Access to roles across AEC you won't find on a job board — with a partner who has your back.
Built for the Hires
That Matter Most.
For roles where the right candidate won't come to you.

won't come to you.
1. Pressure-Test the Role — Before I agree to take on a search, I need to understand what this hire actually solves at 90 days and at one year. If the role isn't well-defined yet, we'll get it there together.
2. Engage Passive Talent - The candidates who move the needle aren’t on job boards. I identify and engage high-performers who are succeeding where they are — and who evaluate opportunities carefully.
3. Validate Execution, Not Just Experience - Résumés tell me where someone has been. Backchannel references tell me how they actually performed. That's what I vet for.
4. Stand Behind the Hire - I offer extended guarantees because I only represent candidates I’m confident will succeed. If I’m not confident, I don’t present them.

Core values
A Higher Standard of Search.
Built for the Long Term
I don’t chase transactions. I focus on hires that hold up years later—leaders who can grow with the organization and withstand change.

Access to Passive Talent
The people who move the needle aren't on job boards. They're performing where they are — and they don't move unless the opportunity is right.

Your Strategic Partner
for Critical Hires.
My approach was shaped by the U.S. Army — mission clarity, disciplined execution, and accountability for outcomes. Today, I apply that mindset to technical and leadership hiring across the built environment. I partner with developers, owner-operators, and infrastructure companies when the role is pivotal and the cost of a miss is high. I'm intentional about the searches I take on — fewer engagements, deeper focus, better outcomes.
For candidates, I represent opportunities that aren't advertised — and I protect your confidentiality throughout.
