Revit Structure Position Wanted - TX

I was contacted recently by a person with ten years of structural detailing experience. The motivation for making a change is being driven by a desire to get to use Revit Structure. He is convinced that it's the direction he wants to take and he recently chose to undertake and complete a three day training class with ECAD in Houston on his own dime.

If your firm is interested in a motivated (even bi-lingual) guy that will combine his experience with his desire to keep moving forward with technology let me know and I'll make the introduction. He is currently in the greater Houston area and would like to stay in the area but he is open to considering a compelling opportunity elsewhere.

Revit Programmer

I've been contacted about an opportunity for a Revit savvy programmer. It is a short term assignment to create a single application (to manage creating local files) but the right person could find themselves with more work or possibly a full time gig, if that's attractive. The firm is international but the primary people you'll work with for this gig are in the USA.

Let me know if you are interested in tackling the assignment and I'll make the introductions. You will be asked to respond to their RFP (request for proposal).

The first test is to see if you can figure out how to contact me. ;)
