He has worked with every common building material and has a specialization in wood, concrete and steel.

He was also part of a team managing the design of the RaDD project in downtown San Diego which consisted of 8 city blocks of new life science and laboratory buildings.

He has done countless restoration and retrofit projects on the hotel grounds in addition to managing the design of the new construction conference center + guest wing building "Shore House". His most recent restoration project "Front Entry / Lobby Restoration" has won multiple awards for excellence in structural engineering & historic preservation from agencies such as SEAOSD, SOHO and San Diego Architectural Foundation.
