Studied Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington
For the last 30 years, Reid has worked in the Seattle-Tacoma HVAC/Mechanical Engineering industry. Aside from project design and management, he has experience with TAB, commissioning (Cx), and construction administration (CA). Reid’s broad knowledge base, coupled with years of field experience, allows him to handle a wide range of project types, such as educational, institutional, mixed-use, industrial, and healthcare. Throughout his career, he has developed a reputation for business development based on client relationships, which continues to provide new opportunities for projects and clients. Throughout his work, he displays a passion for sharing knowledge and experience. In every project he takes on, from new construction to modernization, he shows dedication and hard work. A typical project involves Reid in all aspects of the process, from schematic design to closeout, including designing systems, attending punch walks, and updating as-built drawings. Reid believes in creating an integrated design approach that the project team can take from the owner’s concept to reality through design coordination with the client throughout the entire project lifecycle.
