O bjective
Too establish a long term partnership with an industry leading organization in a management, technical support

successful in that environment in the past.
Experience
2003-2011
Quixote Corporation/Vaisala Corporation Uniontown, PA.
Technical Support Specialist/Customer Service
I was the sole person responsible for the monitoring, maintenance, troubleshooting
and repair of over fifty, large, electronic, permanent car-count stations located at mall sites throughout
the United States. This was achieved by my use of PCAnywhere software which would enable me to
access client computers and begin investigating the system’s hardware and software in various ways.
These stations were of paramount importance to our clients as they used the numbers gathered from
them to charge rent to their retail stores.
I was the sole person responsible for troubleshooting thousands of electronic, portable, car-
count analyzers throughout the United States. These counters were used by state DOTs to allocate
millions of dollars in budgetary money layout for future road repair essentials and goods.
Used Access and Excel data bases to evaluate and repair client data.
Was responsible for weekly, written corporate reports of client mall status, problems,
troubleshooting and resolutions
Was tasked with training clients both on the software (HDM, WDM) and hardware sides in the
use of permanent car count stations and portable devices.
Used PeopleSoft to issue RMAs for repair returns. Prioritized repairs with repair department
and handled billing for product repair returns.
Issued invoices for product sales.
Evaluated and changed the protocols for RMAs and data repair, saving Quixote both time and
money.
Because of the economic importance of mall car counting systems, I was on call 24/7 as tech
support, including all holidays.
I had to interact and communicate effectively with a wide variety of personnel in different
environments and circumstances, including top corporate executives down to blue collar workers who
worked in Quixote/Vaisala, our independent distributors and for our clients.
Worked and interacted effectively in handling problems and facilitating many processes with
excellent team members and colleagues in my building as well as across the country. This included
members of Quixote/Vaisala, our independent distributors.
I had to successfully prioritize between office administration tasks, technical support
and customer service on a daily basis.
Out of over sixty workers, I was one of only seven offered a substantial pay raise to move out
of state when Vaisala decided to close their Pennsylvania office. Because of family consideration, I
could not accept that generous offer. All others receiving that offer were engineers. I was the only tech
support/customer service specialist to receive the offer.
