I was a graduate from New York Institute of Technology with an Architecture degree in 1995. In 2005, I was fortunate enough to join Israel Berger’s envelope consulting firm and worked with the most amazing people on many iconic buildings in New York City. While I worked there, I helped create a Roofing & Waterproofing Division and became the Director for about 10 years. 

When I was young, I remember that both of my grandfathers were in the construction business. One was an architect, and the other was a builder. Both built their own houses with their own two hands. I remember being 14, carrying wheelbarrows of bricks and getting yelled at for moving too slowly, carrying roofing shingles up ladders, loading dumpsters, and always having fun. My mother’s father was my inspiration to become an architect. Watching him work was always interesting because he loved what he did. As I got older, I wanted more and more to be like him. Now I have that chance, and I am happy to be helping people keep their buildings safe and dry.
