Chief Operating Officer

Orlando, Florida

Email 407-487-1222
As the COO, I get the pleasure of getting involved in so many different things – be it complex projects and challenges, driving process improvement, and assuring that our staff is prepared for any project you might throw at them.,During my time at TLC I’ve had the opportunity to work on so many signature projects that other engineers wait their whole lives to get involved in.  Projects that really make a difference in people’s lives and the communities they live in.
Following more than a decade managing healthcare projects for TLC, Jim became the firm's COO in 2018. His bias towards action, balanced with thoughtful consideration of options make him an effective and respected leader. Jim's technical knowledge in power distribution, power generation and communication and technology systems, as well as the demands and expectations for healthcare facilities has earned him respect in the industry.
