Jon Dalton

BIM Manager

Jon was a BIM Lead with a large MEP firm that designed some of the largest hospitals and laboratories in the country. He was responsible for project coordination, troubleshooting, training, and content creation.

That role led him to Colorado as a BIM technician II with a structural design firm, where he primarily worked on Government and Higher Education projects. This position allowed him to continue the same work as the MEP firm but added more production responsibilities.

Now, we are thrilled to have him as BIM Manager at myBIMteam.

Jon has an Associate’s in Architectural Technology from Madison Area Technical College (MATC) in Wisconsin, which helped him learn he enjoys the innovation of BIM Management. For example, Jon likes exploring the unknown of the design technology realm and experimenting with concepts that have yet to be utilized.

Additionally, Jon enjoys collaborating with others to solve complex issues. This quality builds mutual respect with clients and coworkers, knowing he welcomes them to reach out before spinning their wheels on a problem.

When Jon isn’t working, he spends his time outdoors. He is an Eagle Scout who loves to hunt, fish, backpack, off-road, as well as go snowboarding and mountain biking.

Brie Balgeman

BIM Technician

Brie started college, working towards a math degree but switched to interior design. Then, after a program director noticed her skills, they recommended design drafting, and it was a perfect fit. Before graduating from Gallatin College with a Bachelor’s in Design and Architectural Drafting, Brie was already teaching Revit to others as a TA.

What motivates Brie is making the computer and software more friendly and efficient for the end user and eliminating frustration and pain wherever possible. One of the ways she does this is with her preferred screen capture software, Screenpresso, because it makes screenshotting, annotating, and communicating quickly. This is especially important when working remotely at myBIMteam.

So far, one of her favorite things about being at myBIMteam is the opportunity to grow; for example, she is learning more about Dynamo and has helped write complex scripts for clients for optimization.

When Brie isn’t working or helping others with Revit, she crochets, practices piano, hunts, and plays DND.

Eric Mifsud

Technician

Eric has excellent operational knowledge of terrestrial and mobile laser scanners, also known as SLAM scanners. He has worked with laser scanning equipment from brands such as Faro, Trimble, and NavVis. He is currently earning his Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) license, so myBIMteam can also offer drone scanning.

Additionally, Eric utilizes Trimble RealWorks and Recap software to assemble and ensure the accuracy of point clouds. He strives to ensure customers receive precise and high-quality results.

Eric has his bachelor’s degree In Business Administration from Florida Southern College. He loves to golf, work out, and ride his motorcycle in his free time. Currently, he is determined to break 90 on the golf course!
