What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? 
My most memorable work relating to the community would be the Sayville High School Sports Field and concession project of 2017.The project transformed an existing inconspicuous school grass field into a local community state-of-the-art sports complex. Located directly across the Long Island railroad train station, the site has become a community plaza location and focal point for the town. High technology professional LED sports lighting, grandstand and concession annex were designed and constructed with the emphasis on both high level functionality and aesthetics. Bringing the community together further, upon completion, the field was ceremoniously dedicated to a local Suffolk County police officer fallen in line of duty. His memorial was constructed as part of the project and is located at the northeast corner of the complex in his honor.
