Currently, JE Dunn has one IFMA member, Glen Miller, who is a boomerang member – active in ifmaKC from around 1990 through 2010 and having resumed membership in the past two years after a decade hiatus.

 

Building on a degree from the College of Architecture at Kansas State University, Glen's career has allowed him to sit in nearly every seat at the table of design and construction projects as well as being at the leading edge early in the facility management industry. His early career has included designing and overseeing construction of multiple office projects for both commercial and government clients with a focus on new services to meet the growing needs of the facility management community. This included the early days of space forecasting/tracking, CAFM, and move planning and management. Glen's middle career engaged a broader range of integrated services as an owner’s representative taking commercial headquarters projects from inception through real estate, AE, FFE and construction oversight services, move management, and facility close-out/disposition, affording opportunities to work with many IFMA colleagues as clients. 

 

The most recent portion of Glen's career has engaged his inner builder with nationally focused business development roles at large construction companies. After working alongside JE Dunn personnel on projects for many years it is his privilege to now be part of the JE Dunn team where he focuses on leading business development for JE Dunn's federal market sector nationally and contributing to their engagement with the Kansas City marketplace. 


Glen's career has joined his passion for architecture and an aptitude for business with a fulfilling engagement in commercial real estate, construction, project and facility management services, business development, and organizational leadership. Beyond work he enjoy spending time with family, including his two adult children and their spouses/SO’s, friends, travelling, volunteering at church, and appreciating many forms of architecture while enjoying the outdoors.
