Work Experience

Techinical Director
6/2006 - Present micea llc, Worcester, PA
* Founder of a NEW team of expert Building Designers called micea.net. We are a telecommuting network of ex-CAD Managers from firms of all sizes and disciplines that have gotten together to pool our talents. Because we have little overhead we can always under bid a traditional US AE firm. And because we are local and each individually have over 10 years experience in our chosen specialty we can always out perform any non-Domestic outsource offering. Currently we are focussed on residential and light commercial buildings of stick frame construction type for drafting services; but we will always consider and give you an honest estimate on other types of jobs. Keep in mind that we excel at anything related to Building Information Modeling (BIM) because we have as many technology gurus amongst us as designers. Our website reflects this BIM focus: http://micea.net/for an example of the high performance and professional quality of our work check out the example on this webpage: http://micea.net/visualization_v5.htmlAll of our production related services including: drafting in any discipline, architecture, structural engineering, digital artwork, etc. are billed at a simple $50/hour. Reminder we are VERY good at what we do - and we define good as both FAST and THOROUGH. Therefore we are confident we are well worth this rate. So far our clients agree. You may even speak to some of them upon request. I look forward to learning about your building design needs and how micea.net may be of service.
