Revit Guru Available - Houston

[Update - He is no longer available]

David Baldacchino recently found himself on the awkward end of the much too frequent conversation for many people in this business, "We're sorry we have to let you go". Rather than dwelling on this as a setback he's looking forward to finding that next great firm. He wants to stay in Houston but he also realizes that a perfect opportunity might lie elsewhere. You can read his own post at his blog Do U Revit? I do.


With his energy, attitude and experience I just can't see him being available for too long. If your firm is looking for the right person to make a difference what are you waiting for?
