About Me

Sr. CAD/ BIM (Building Modeling Info) Drafter. I have 17 years experience working for architects & engineers, commercial & residential. I also have a staff (my talented kids) who do 3D Modeling, Rendering, AutoCAD, Revit, Sketchup.
We All have a construction AND Art background. I look at drafting as technical art - I am called the CAD Gorilla - for a few reasons, I take my job seriously, I strive for excellence & I know what I'm doing.

Work Experience

  • Apr 2001 - present
    orlando, FL (US)
    Freelance Drafting, Modeling & Rendering
    CAD Gorilla
    I have seventeen years of experience in commercial & residential architecture, five years in graphic art, and twelve years in construction. I've done shop drawings, site and survey, civil, MEP-FP, structural and landscape drafting and/or design. My specialty is CAD (Computer Aided Design) management & production efficiency. I am experienced as a project coordinator, Jr. project manager, CAD manager and in Construction Administration and field inspections and reports.
    Having built homes I understand the procedures & problems encountered regarding material, workmanship & design.
    As an artist, I am skilled in graphic presentation; understanding line weight, color, texture, contrast, shadow and form. Also having worked with many talented designers, I appreciate functional, as well as, pleasing design.
    I strive to grab my client's attention and then proceed to make his/her dreams come true, under budget and on time. I work to create a drawing set that a contractor will appreciate; one that gives him/her all the necessary information in a sequential manner (plans, sections, details and schedules) all fully coordinated.
    My work ethic is: ’A good day’s work for a good day’s pay.’ I am dedicated, honest and ethical; committed to learning and taking on responsibility. I have no shyness about teaching others what I have learned, and I firmly believe I learned from the best.
