Operations Manager
J.D. has more than two decades of experience in planning, design, engineering, and construction to his role at EDiS. A licensed Professional Engineer, his diverse background gives him a unique understanding of the many stages a project moves through from initial programming and design to budgeting, construction, and closeout. Throughout his career, J.D. has contributed to hundreds of projects representing more than half a billion dollars in construction costs, with significant experience supporting educational facilities and other complex public and institutional projects.
Before focusing primarily on construction and project management, J.D. spent much of his career as a consulting engineer and architectural designer, working directly with clients to translate programmatic goals into functional spaces. His experience has also included capital planning and facilities leadership, preconstruction, estimating, value engineering, contract management, field coordination, and oversight of major construction programs. That broad perspective allows him to anticipate challenges, understand the priorities of owners and design professionals, and help move projects forward with both the big picture and the details in mind.
Today, J.D. applies that experience across a wide range of responsibilities, managing business development efforts and multiple projects throughout the tri-state area. His ability to connect with clients, designers, contractors, and project stakeholders—combined with his technical expertise and practical construction knowledge—makes him a valuable resource from the earliest planning conversations through successful project completion.
