What keeps you up at night?

The business of architecture, engineering, construction and development can be uncertain. This requires us to continually evaluate, adjust and adapt the professional services we provide.

What is the toughest decision you ever had to make?

Early in my career I had an opportunity to relocate and open a new consulting office in the mid-Atlantic region. I love to travel and I appreciate all of the beautiful areas this country and the world have to offer. However, I am very proud to have remained a native resident of the Buffalo-Niagara region.

Most memorable Wendel Moment?

Every day presents a new opportunity to make a most memorable moment. Personally, I love to “push the envelope” by being spontaneous, creative, fun and inspiring. The culture at Wendel, and our unbelievably talented employees, fully embrace this. The result: we make stories and memorable moments every single day. It’s pretty amazing.
