Who am I?

 
My name is John Burke.  I'm not your typical engineer.
 

Over the past twenty plus years of my professional career, I've found that my greatest asset is in getting things done through difficult situations.  And now, I love to teach other professionals how to do the same thing by applying the  effective and simple techniques that I've learned over the years.

I invested 7 years of my career on one of the most rewarding projects of my life - Westminster Station.  I had the opportunity to negotiate with the railroad, the Regional Transportation District, Department of Transportation, Federal Highways Administration, Corps of Engineers, Department of Public Health and Environment and adjacent governmental agencies to bring an award winning project to fruition.  In all, more than $80 million dollars have been invested into this project area with more to come!

I am now working to create the City of Westminster's new Downtown, by converting an old 100-acre regional mall into the epicenter of experiential activity with new residential, retail, hospitality, office and entertainment offerings encapsulated in a new urban form with over 7 million square feet of development.  As a quasi-master developer, I get to negotiate with private developers and work through the entitlement process with our internal teams and with our elected officials in order to get this project built.  We currently have over $250 million dollars of private projects under construction opening later this year.

In my free time - I love to teach, train and help other engineers and contractors achieve success through the RFP process.  This is where you come in.  If your company is going after a major project for either design or construction and you want to know what it's going to take to get the project won, give me a call and I can help you see it from the owner's perspective.  

**Disclosure - I work for the City of Westminster Colorado.  Working with me will not guarantee any potential contracts in the future or other quid-pro-quo arrangements.**

Assuming you can pass the test above and you're looking for some guidance, give me a call.  I have done dozens of training's for both public and private companies over the years with a track record of results.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I look forward to connecting with you!

Your friend - John Burke
