“Kyle and his associate Jason were kind enough to guest lecture for my Power and Process Plant Construction class at Ferris. They did a great job of discussing the intricacies of being a CM on food/beverage process plant projects. Fantastic insights into that industry and they gave the students some good examples of potential pitfalls in the process plant environment - along with tips on how to come up with creative solutions for those pitfalls. I'd be happy to have them back to guest lecture any time!”
