In today’s environment where every project is built with equal collaboration from the architect, contractor, subcontractors and owner, Peter’s background and experience will benefit our clients tremendously.”

Prior to joining Diversified Project Management, Palmisano was president of Project Planning Group, where he served as owner representative to clients including Cushman & Wakefield, Getty Petroleum, Xerox Corp. and The Brinks Co. He also managed a design and project management staff at three locations. Previously, he served as manager of design and project management at Xerox and as a project engineer for the United States Air Force.
