Before I taught owners, Apple trusted me with its largest product. For nine years I led engineering for Apple's global retail portfolio: the standards and designs behind 300+ stores in 20+ countries. Before that, I spent 11 years engineering buildings across New York, learning from some of the world's best tradesmen. I've designed high-rises, combined heat and power plants, solar, museums, schools and offices. You name it, I've been there. I even served on New York City's Building Resiliency Task Force after Superstorm Sandy, helping rewrite the building codes for resiliency. I own real estate too: residential, multifamily and assisted living. Now I teach owners to protect theirs the way I protect mine.

Your building tells you what's coming, if you know where to look.
