Gateway Arch Park Foundation

The CityArchRiver project was a $379M public-private partnership, led by Gateway Arch Park Foundation, to connect the Gateway Arch to the City of St. Louis. The project revitalized the Arch grounds and museum, created a welcoming resource for the community, region, and nation, and catalyzed economic development in the St. Louis metropolitan area.  

  • As the Director of Construction for Gateway Arch Park Foundation, responsibilities included management of design and construction of eleven component projects, from initial programming through schematic design, design development, construction documentation, bidding, negotiation, construction administration, and close-out, as well as assisting in the development of agreements for ongoing supplemental operations and maintenance of the CityArchRiver projects.
