Q&A with Danny
-
What’s your role at MBP, and what does a typical day look like?
My current role is Project Manager II. I have two kinds of typical days. The first is an office day where I spend the day working with the team to ensure they are able to get their work done, working on reports and reviews, or working on proposals. The second type of typical day I have is a field day where I am out on a job site doing a site visit, testing, or visiting with clients.
-
What inspired you to pursue a career in commissioning?
I used to be a mechanical contractor prior to becoming a commissioning consultant. I made the change because I got tired of the hours and the seasonal rushes. Being a consultant gives me more consistent hours and gives me a nice blend of being in an office and out in the field.
-
How has MBP supported your career growth or professional development?
MBP has been behind me the whole way whether it’s paying for me to go to classes, take tests to get certifications, or even doing the leg work to figure out loopholes on how I can get more challenging certifications such as the PE license.
-
What advice would you give to someone starting a career in this industry?
Learn as much as you can and do the uncomfortable things. The more you know about how things should be done, the better you will be at advising a client if something has been done incorrectly. People make fewer mistakes out in the open where they are comfortable, they make more mistakes in uncomfortable situations whether it’s time of day or place. Get out early, work late, get into those high places, or those small holes, and see what has been done.
-
What’s your hidden talent?
If something has an engine and it’s drivable, I can most likely figure out how to make it run and drive it.

Favorite MBP tradition or event?
The MBP Annual Business Meeting (ABM). It’s a great time where everyone in the company gets together and we can all laugh, reminisce, talk about what’s going on now, and share knowledge.
