With over 14 years of drafting experience and several years of working directly for American fabricators, Jeff created this company to address the need of workable drawings for local fabricators. Jeff has a main goal to focus special detail to AISC standards and constructability - something that has been lost with foreign detailing companies.

​

Past roles include detailer, sr. detailer, checker, and detailing manager. Jeff was also a laborer in the construction industry in the summer between school years. While working for fabrication shops directly Jeff would visit the sites, field measure, preform project management duties, help with shop layouts, act as a hand for field install or shop labor when needed.

​

Jeff is also a proud husband, father of two and keeper of an ole grumpy dog and a flock of chickens. Huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan(how fitting) and outdoors enthusiast for hunting, camping, fishing or well really anything that gets him away from the computer for a bit.
