What first interested you in surveying and engineering?
I’ve always been interested in how projects come together. Early in my career, I realized I enjoyed solving problems before they became expensive ones, and that’s what ultimately led me into this field.

What made you want to start Prologue Hospitality?
We realized there was more value in becoming really good at solving problems for one industry than trying to be everything to everybody. Hospitality became a natural fit after years of working in hotels and resorts and understanding the unique challenges these projects bring.

What do you think sets hospitality projects apart from other industries?
You’re often working inside an active property where the business can’t simply stop because a project is happening. You have to understand the operational side of hospitality just as much as the technical side.

What problem did you want Prologue to solve?
We wanted to reduce uncertainty at the beginning of projects. Giving teams reliable information upfront helps them make better decisions before design and construction begin.

What’s one thing you’ve learned after more than two decades in the industry?
You can’t eliminate uncertainty, but you can reduce it. The more you understand upfront, the fewer surprises you’ll have later.

What’s one industry belief you disagree with?
More data isn’t always better. The goal should be to provide the right information in a way that’s useful, not overwhelm teams with detail they don’t need.

What matters most to you when working with a client?
Understanding what they’re trying to accomplish before jumping to a solution. Every project has different priorities, so asking the right questions upfront matters.

How would you describe your leadership style?
Consistency is important to me. I want our team to know what’s expected, but I also believe we should hold ourselves to the same standards we ask of everyone else.

What are you most proud of building at Prologue?
The team and the relationships we’ve built. Processes and technology are important, but having the right people is what allows everything else to work.

What’s one principle you try to carry into everything you do?
Do work you’re proud to put your name on. Technology and markets will change, but integrity, consistency, and treating people well don’t.
