Drawing on extensive experience in construction administration, architectural design, and construction management, he brings a comprehensive, 360-degree understanding of public-sector project delivery to every client. Prior to founding FDCS, Jerry served as Construction Administration Director for prominent architectural firms, where he masterminded the delivery of millions of square feet of complex commercial and institutional spaces, including corporate headquarters, financial institutions, and high-security legal facilities. Throughout his career, he has specialized in navigating the technical and legal rigors of complex contract administration, maintaining strict fiscal alignment between design intent and municipal budgets, and ensuring seamless collaboration between Owners, Design Consultants, and General Contractors. He is particularly skilled in orchestrating high-stakes renovations within occupied facilities, implementing sophisticated phasing and safety planning to guarantee total operational continuity for municipal staff.

Under Jerry’s leadership, FDCS has established a consistent track record of delivering high-performance, resilient assets for municipal clients. For the City of Rowlett, Jerry led construction management for the Public Library interior finish-out and its subsequent conversion into Development Services offices, later serving as Owner’s Representative for Fire Station No. 2, which was delivered within its $7.6 million budget and returned approximately $85,000 in savings to the City. Currently, he is providing executive oversight and technical governance for several mission-critical public safety initiatives for the City of Decatur, including a new 26,000-square-foot Fire Station No. 2 scheduled for completion in Q4 2026. Through disciplined management, open-book transparency, and unwavering fiscal accountability, Jerry translates complex data into actionable intelligence, providing the active engagement necessary to protect each City's investments, timelines, and professional reputation.
