Born in San Diego, I came to the smart buildings industry after attending college in Chicago and living and working in New York City. I'll admit, I hadn't thought much about buildings prior to taking on a West Coast controls distributor as a client for my content writing business. But fast-forward 10 years and I'm still here, uncovering more to be curious about within the smart buildings space every day. IĀ have marketed controls and system integration services, managed master system integration jobs defined and implemented a software onboarding process, designed a customer service and support framework for long-tern engagement and worked with some of the most trailblazing people.
IĀ think what keeps this industry so interesting to me is that it is so full of contradictions. It's in a constant state of flux and yet it is mired in tradition. Buildings are immovable objects and making a dent in how they're constructed, operated and maintained is a monumental feat. And yet, the work feels consequential and immediate. So we keep progressing, if slowly and sometimes only after going backwards for a bit.
