Hi Francisco, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Give the best support to my family and make me feel proud.


Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

After months start work like draftsman at counter both company in Anaheim. I start my auto cad classes in Tijuana for understand with original language and apply here in English. after months start like Architectural Drafting with one structural engineer.. for years. and i take the decision to be independent on my own firm BDG DESIGN GROUP from 20 years ago approx. Now the structural Engineer ( before my boss , work on my projects for years ) I’m complete over 900 projects here in USA, Mexico, Costa Rica , and consultant in Saudi Arabia.   ( I did work for the most simple clients and also for Celebrities too like : Anne Heche and James Tupper , Mohamed Hadid , Jeff Greene, etc. ).  I’m a lucky guy !!

All is possible if you have a dream, Don’t feel you can do all ,, you need a nice team and be a nice person with all people..no Mather how is. always take with you if is possible a personal business card.
