His portfolio centers on the procurement of commercial and institutional building construction services to maintain, upgrade, and expand VA medical facilities, ensuring clinical environments meet modern standards for safety, accessibility, and operational efficiency.

He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Stafford Consulting Company, Inc., Skytek LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Metro West Ambulance Service, Inc., and Salmon Group Inc., all of whom have demonstrated reliable performance in delivering facility construction, site development, and related support services. His procurement approach emphasizes accountability, compliance, and long-term vendor partnerships built on technical competence and adherence to federal construction standards.

His primary NAICS specialization is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in procuring structural renovations, HVAC and electrical upgrades, accessibility modifications, and facility expansions for VA medical centers. He routinely manages acquisitions for healthcare-specific construction requirements, including compliance with ADA, FGI Guidelines, and VA Directive 10-17, ensuring all projects support clinical functionality and patient safety.
