Why Savan Group
When I was presented with the opportunity to join Savan Group, I started asking around to see what people were saying about this new firm. What I heard from their clients was that “They are very professional, ambitious, and sharp,” which made my decision to accept their offer an easy one.

Throughout my time with the firm, Savan Group has proved that it is more than just a startup company. It is a fast growing firm that provides me with the opportunity to sharpen my project manager skill through exposure to a variety of projects.

What I Enjoy About Consulting
Consulting provides me with an opportunity to leverage my skills and knowledge to create effective solutions custom tailored to the unique requirements of every client. The diversity of my clients allows me to broaden my experiences and hone my expertise, allowing for continuous improvement. I have found this to be a win-win situation, as throughout my career I have succeeded in helping many clients and in return they have enriched my career and life through working with them.

Lessons Learned
I have learned many lessons in life. As an immigrant, I have worked my way up and taken on a variety of organizations; some worthy, some not so worthy of my experience and background. These experiences taught me to always have an open mind and be curious. The work that I have done enriched my life through the new skills I acquired and the people I met. Most importantly, it taught me that though I may have expertise in one specific area or another, working in unfamiliar areas will challenge me to grow and be a better person.

Off the Clock
My family is central to my life. I have two young children and a wonderful wife. When I am not working, I try to spend as much time with them as I can. We enjoy watching movies, playing games and taking in the outdoors. We also like to travel whether it is a day trip or a trip abroad. As a professional engineer, I like to undertake at least one big building project a year - which usually exceeds its original size and scope, much to the dismay of my wife.
