His focus has been on large-scale commercial, luxury residential, retail, industrial, and public sector developments throughout the Southwest and across North America.As a senior project manager for Grand Canyon Development Partners, Smith supports clients through the entire lifecycle of development. He works closely with consultants, contractors, and owner representatives to guide every aspect of a project forward, from programming and schematic design to closeout.
