OBJECTIVES/SUMMARY
I am a self-motivated leader with an extensive background in management and safety. I have more
than 25 years in management and 31 years working for the largest companies in the industry. My
diverse experience and dedicated leadership has made me a valuable asset to my employers as envoy
to State and Federal agencies including PSC, EPA, OSHA, and DOT, as well as City, County and
State officials.
I've secured company directives by mandating performance current with industry standards. I've
developed and maintained divisional capital budgets by managing cash flow for long term projects.
I've promoted growth and expansion while maintaining existing customers without the need for
significant additional investment. I've initiated cost continuous improvements throughout mergers
and acquisitions, eliminating redundancies and streamlining the existing staff within the merged
entity.
As a Safety Manager I specialized in review/analysis and implementation of concise corrective
measures for “at risk location” throughout WV, VA, NJ, PA, MA, NY, KY, OH, AL, and FL.
transforming them into compliance with all company protocol, local, state and federal regulations.
