The son of a Greek-Canadian residential contractor, I grew up on the job site. From houses to hospitals, I pride myself on building technology to help teams solve tough problems in design & construction.

I graduated from the University of British Columbia top of my class with a degree in mechanical engineering, then worked in building design before moving into construction management, at Honeywell Building Solutions as a subcontractor and then at EllisDon as a GC. I received my MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, while working in real estate development and investing both domestically and abroad. I've seen the industry across the world, from bottom to top.

I co-founded Buildcheck to answer the question I always wondered: why can't designs be perfect?
