I have recently returned from working in Camp Arifjan,Kuwait as a Lead Electrical Inspector and Contracts Manager, when my contract ended January 15, 2010. Prior to that I was in Camp Victory, Baghdad, Iraq where I was a Quality Manager within a Special Electrical Task Force.
I am a Master Licensed Electrical Contractor and I was contracted as a Subject Matter Expert for The Electrical / Power Distribution Evaluation Plan. I managed this new project from inception and design strategies to the implementation of this critical project.
I have proven to safely complete my projects on time and within budget. I have been in the construction/electrical business for 19 years. I use MS Project Management software as well as AutoCad and Visio to accurately track and design my projects. I am very organized and detail oriented.
In addition to my Electrical and Management Experience I have years of Facilities Operations and hands on Preventative, Predictive and Corrective Maintenance Experience. I can install, rewire, repair, and troubleshoot just about any motor and controls. I am very mechanically inclined with a diverse list of skills including PLC programming and a list of certifications.
Please read my attached resume and feel free to contact me at any time should you require further details. I am not married and with no children it allows me to devote my time to my passion of Electrical/Operations/ Project Management.
The best way to contact me is via email
