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. I 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.
I 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.
