Q & A

What is one of the most memorable challenges you faced on a project?

"Old Red Courthouse: A project I became very involved in. I got to know that Structure from Top to bottom. I have been in places in that old building where very few people will ever see. I was engaged with the project in a very positive way. I was allowed to have input on many issues and help with  “In the field” site problems. I built a very strong relationship with the City of Dallas and the Contractor on the project. I kind of took the restoration of “Old Red” to Heart.  It was a great feeling to see her restored back to her wonderful glory. I worked on that project during multiple phases for many years. Very proud of the outcome."

Why do you work at Datum?

"I enjoy working on the many different projects that I have been so blessed to be a part of because I know I am giving back to society in some small way. I am helping to make the big picture if you will."
