Gene advances the technical side of Enovity’s commissioning practice by driving quality and innovation and mentoring younger engineers.

Hardly a “desk-bound” manager, Gene takes on the largest and most complex project challenges himself, so it’s not unusual to find him leading testing of a large central plant.

Gene strongly believes in advocating for the owner during the complex (and sometimes contentious) process of design and construction, and he doesn’t shy away from challenging the design and construction teams when necessary.

Engineers and contractors have competing interests and priorities: disputes are inevitable. Part of the value Enovity offers is that we provide objective, independent expertise to give the owner the real story.”

With 13 years of experience in the controls industry, and work as a facility manager earlier in his career, Gene has seen first-hand how owners can get let down by designs that are not connected with construction and operational realities. He has personally responded to and resolved maintenance complaints from building occupants.

I've experienced the challenges that facility owners and O&M personnel face as a result of insufficient construction practices. One of my personal goals is to change these paradigms."
