Jimmy started with Skanska in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at Georgia Tech. Sustainability is a career passion, one of Georgia’s first LEED managers, created the Atlanta Mission urban garden, and a founding board member of the construction material reuse nonprofit based in Atlanta, the Lifecycle Building Center. His current role with Skanska is the technical leader for The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design at all design and construction phases. The project includes a glue laminated timber structure with nail laminated timber decking (NLT).
