John Ridder, IT Design Engineer for Garmann/Miller Architects-Engineers has recently earned his Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) designation.   Those awarded with the RCDD designation have demonstrated their knowledge in the design, implementation and integration of information transport systems and related infrastructure. 

     Candidates are required to show industry experience and pass rigorous exams based on the content of BICSI manuals.  Those who pass must adhere to strict standards of conduct and keep their knowledge current through continuing education. 

     The RCDD status conveys instant advantages over the competition with a professional designation of excellence, a highly regarded status recognized and mandated by many private and state organizations, a noted mark of design knowledge valued internationally, as well as an indication of experience and knowledge known throughout the ITS industry.

     John will be responsible for designing electrical and technology systems for educational facilities and public projects.  He holds an Associate degree in Applied Electrical Engineering.  His work experience includes 12 years as a Cabling Splicing and Repair Technician, three years as a Network Planner, and 15 years as Director of Network Planning for Ohio Local Exchange Carrier.

    John joined Garmann/Miller in May 2009 adding to a staff of registered architects, landscape architects, designers, professional engineers, construction administrators and administrative personnel dedicated to serving public and private clients throughout western Ohio.
