To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept my attached resume as application for consideration of

employment with your firm. As you can see I have 20+ years experience in

the construction business with the last 15 years in the project management

arena. I believe my multiple skillsets along with my 15 years of rebar

detailing and estimating and 12 years as a self perform concrete project

management and estimating for a general contractor and M.E.P. general

contracting and co-ordination, can be a major asset to your company.

Experienced at Prolog (12 years), Suretrak (16 years) Viewpoint (3 years),

Expedition (5 years), Excel (14 years), Word (14 years), PowerPoint (10

years), Access (6 years), Outlook (12 years), Lotus (4 years), WordPerfect

(4 years), Microsoft Project (8 years) and AutoCad (1 years).

I would like the opportunity to meet with you and explore the possibilities

of joining your team. I will provide a project list and a reference list

upon request. I am also willing to relocate at my own expense.

Reasons for gaps in employment.

I left Leopardo Construction to marry my high school sweetheart in Arizona.

I left Concord Companies because we weren't a good fit for each other.

I was laid off from LGE Design Build because of the economy and a drastic

slow down in business.

Thank you for your time and considerations.
