SUMMARY

I am a senior CAD design draftsman with CAD management and teaching

experience. I am considered an AutoCAD expert. I have an understanding of

architectural floor plans, riser diagrams, facilities floor plans,

electrical floor plans, structural audio visual and mechanical layouts. I

have years of architectural and mechanical experience, and whatever I don't

know, I am a very quick study. My skill set includes: manipulating and

working with architectural backgrounds, auto lisp programming, layer

management, xrefing, xclipping, plotting, file conversion, dimensioning,

and scanning. I am familiar with the operation of word processing and

spreadsheet programs, and I am able to work with blueprints, architectural,

electrical, mechanical, structural and site plans. I multi-task, work

independently, or with a group, and efficiently. I have excellent verbal

and communication skills. I also have years of experience as a CAD manager.

I am eager to learn and gain additional skills. I also take responsibility

for my work and encourage a "teamwork" environment. I think that I would be

a valuable asset.
