Note to Students
I am a lifelong learner with three advanced degrees and a diploma for speaking Czech. Construction is a passion for me. Its generational in my family and an industry from which I derive great pleasure. Teaching comes naturally because as a retired US Army officer, I have twenty-seven years experience teaching soldiers. Using an online platform to teach is also very familiar because I earned my EJD from Concord Law School completely online; one of the toughest achievements of my life. I look forward to imparting my knowledge to willing and eager minds.

STUDENT REVIEWS
"This is a solid course to give you the foundation needed when working with concrete."
“Useful information and relatable to real work."
“Great instructor. Course material was relevant to construction and he challenged my thinking. He definitely required you to earn your grade. His timeline for feedback to assignments was great and appreciated. Would definitely recommend this professor and course to those I know who are looking to expand their knowledge of construction law." (310 Practical Application of Construction Law)
“ In my career I am shooting to become a project manager from a superintendent, and I believe that this course has helped me implement things that are very important to contracts, and what should be in them to provide the most protection for the owner and the company. It has given a clear path on how to handle situations that come about, like disputes from contracts, suppliers, subcontractors, and defects.”
