My understanding on the job working requirements goes beyond the fine education I received at F.I.U. while I distinguished myself there with a high GPA and Dean’s list recognition, my expertise is beyond the theoretical and into the practical aspects of construction. My family’s iron work and Construction Company has for many years been important participant in building south Florida.  I regularly lend my consulting expertise to the steel fabrication and construction, sub-contracting company founded by my brother and myself.  I have designed complicated  steel and aluminum structures.
