WORK EXPERIENCE:

DHI Consulting Engineers (Civil-Surveying-Planning) Feb. 2007 - Sep. 2011

Dimond Center Tower, 5th Floor, 800 E. Dimond, Suite 3-550

Anchorage, Alaska 99515 Telephone: 907-***-****

Job Title: CT-II

At DHI Consulting Engineers, I worked under the direction of a Civil Engineer (PE) to produce many kinds of AutoCAD drawings. He favored allowing all personnel to learn to do the work of other staff members so that we could fill the role of one another in case of absences etc. Because of this strategy, I was allowed to learn more skills than on most jobs I had had in the past. I learned to draw As-Built surveys, Mechanical pipe drawings, Sub-Division drawings, Right-of-Way drawings, Soil logs and Plan & Profiles. Particular care was taken to indicate underground utilities such as sewers, water lines, gas lines, electrical and communications.

On those few occasions when work was slow I would find property deeds or right-of-way drawings at the Municipality of Anchorage offices or AWWU. Other tasks were plotting projects on the large plotter or filing project documents.

One of my projects at this time consisted of drawing the -New Water Storage Building- for the Nikiski Bay Utilities Company. This involved not only drafting of the steel building, but also placement and piping of the mechanical equipment.

New England Sheet Metal, Inc. Apr. 1994-Jun. 2006

P.O. Box 11158,

Fresno, CA 93771-1158

Telephone: 559-***-****

Job Title: HVAC Drafter/Designer

Duties were to prepare -shop- drawings for fabrication and installation of HVAC ductwork and fittings. Nearly all the work we did was to provide climate control for Hospitals, Schools, Churches, Indian Tribal Casino`s, and Businesses. Drawings consisted of demolition plans, remodel plans, shop drawings, control drawings and as-built drawings. I became familiar with AutoCAD software starting with Release 14 thru 2007. A requirement of my employment was to become familiar with Mechanical Code books, Fire Codes and Municipal Codes. I was also required to use Seismic Codes for design of seismic restraints of hanging ductwork.

For a while I was responsible for all the Owner`s manuals and Maintenance manuals until they hired an employee who made that his full-time job.

Lencioni Associates Oct. 1992 - Apr. 1994

1981 N. Gateway Blvd.,

Fresno, CA

Telephone: 559-***-****

Job Title: Mechanical Drafter

Lencioni Associates is a consulting engineering firm whose main business is Mechanical Engineering. They did extensive remodeling of schools and other public buildings. My task was to make drawings supplied by our engineer (or a field trip by me) into demolition and remodel drawings. I was taught to size gas pipes, water lines, condensate lines and rain leaders. I also calculated the size of piping in restrooms and kitchens. It was at Lencioni Associates that I first started using an AutoCAD computer.

Brott Mechanical, Inc. Jul. 1987 - Sep. 1992

1115 Blackstone #A,

Tulare, CA 93274-6508

Telephone: 559-***-****

Job Title: Mechanical Drafter

Brott Mechanical is a contractor licensed to work in both HVAC and Plumbing. During the time I worked there they installed Air-Conditioning equipment and Plumbing in four State prisons, three schools, three hospitals and one insurance company. My duty was to make -shop- drawings of these projects and others. I was the only draftsman there and was presented with the opportunity to go to the QuickPen CAD and Estimating school at Eagleton, Colorado. The Quickpen Company had their own software and computers and sold a CAD/CAM system to their clients (Computer aided Design & Manufacture).

The -QuickPen- system allowed a draftsman to draw the HVAC duct runs, turns etc., and the data would be sent to the fabrication shop by hard line and there manufactured by an automatic duct line. There were several software problems which the -QuickPen- company solved but those they did not cure were left to their customers.

I took night classes in AutoCAD at the nearby Adult Vocational School in Clovis and was also sent to a seminar in San Diego called -HVAC Systems Testing & Balance-.

(I understand that QuickPen later dropped their automated system and went to an AutoCAD based system)

City of Hanford Dec. 1978 - Jul. 1987

Department of Public Works

218 North Douty St.,

Hanford, CA 93230

Telephone: 559-***-****

Job Title: Civil Drafter III

I prepared Civil Engineering drawings for bid purposes on various City projects. Drawings consisted of various street repaving projects involving sewer, drainage, stripping and underground utilities. Planter Bulbs at the downtown pedestrian crossings were drawn for the Downtown area as part of the Hanford beautification project. Other drawings were of city wells and city parks. All drawings at this time were done by hand with pen and ink on Mylar film.

I cooperated with John Mahowald, the City Engineer, to produce a book of drawings of City Standards to be made available to contractors. In a similar way and cooperation, I produced an entire set of architectural plans for the construction of the new City Corporation Yard and Offices. I consulted with various department heads and merged their ideas into each departments space.

For this effort I was awarded a large trophy as -Employee of the Year 1982- at the annual City Banquet.

Two other projects for which I was the draftsman were:

Remodel of the Old Hanford Post Office Building and

Office Remodel of the East Wing - Hanford Civic Auditorium

City of Visalia Aug. 1978 - Dec.1978

Department of Public Works

707 W. Acequia St.,

Visalia, CA 93277

Job Title: Civil Drafter III

I worked here for only 6 months and left for the job in Hanford when it opened. My home was 27 miles to the west in the neighboring City of Hanford. I discovered -Tule- fog as the locals called it and decided not to risk driving the 27 miles every day of winter.

University of Alaska - Fairbanks Nov. 1975 - Jun. 1978

Department of Water Resources

Fairbanks, AK 99701

Job Title: Draftsman/Illustrator

This was a departure from making engineering drawings. On this job I made illustrations for publications as well as charts, graphs and maps for the various scientists working there. They did more than just study water and I was constantly learning new things as I illustrated their papers. As work slowed down from time to time, Dr. Carlson sent me to other departments such as Timber resources and Sea Grant to gather work from them.

University of Alaska - Fairbanks Nov. 1975 - Jun. 1978

Institute for Facilities Planning and Development

Fairbanks, AK 99701

Job Title: Civil Drafter

My first job, at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, was with the Institute for Facilities Planning and Development. The Planning Department was responsible for all the campuses in Alaska. We made presentation drawings, planned new roads and parking lots for the Fairbanks campus and for Kotzebue, Juneau and others. We worked on the remodel and office layout of the Gruening Building and something to do with Windmills at Nome.

The project I liked best however, was the -PUB- at the University Student Activity Center, UAF. The PUB was a restaurant/lounge for eating, dancing and entertainment. Construction was by University maintenance personnel. The drawings were by me.

Ellerbee Architects Jan. 1973 - Jan. 1974

(Civil, Structural and Architectural Engineers)

601 College Road,

Fairbanks, AK 99701

Job Title: Mechanical Drafter

Ellerbee Architects, a company with offices in Minnesota and London bought out Grey, Rogers, Myers & Morgan. The GRM&M name changed but the principals and workers remained the same. I worked a one of the three draftsmen and filled in wherever needed most. During this period I worked mainly under Mr. William Pike, PE and learned to draw Mechanical drawings and Details. Except for spending more time with Mr. Pike, my work was basically the same as it had been with GRM&M. Now I was a full-time employee instead of part-time.

I assisted Mr. Pike in many of his inspections of plumbing for dorm building remodels at the University of Alaska. In 1973 Mr. Pike and I worked on the HVAC and Plumbing design for the Alaska State Office Parking Garage in Fairbanks. I worked on the Tanacross Village Community Center.

Grey, Rogers, Myers & Morgan Jan. 1969 - Jan. 1973

(Civil, Structural and Architectural Engineers)

601 College Road,

Fairbanks, AK 99701

Job Title: Drafter

I first went to work for Grey, Rodgers, Myers & Morgan in January of 1969 as a part-time employee. I worked 3 hours (Monday thru Friday) nights and 8 hours on Saturdays: while a full-time employee for the RCA Service Company at the Gilmore Creek NASA Tracking Station by day.

After Ellerbee Architects bought them out I remained on as a full-time employee. My goal was further my education and learn the ways of an office.

Various of the principals would leave instructions or sketches on my table and I would finish them and leave them on their desks. Most of the work was small drawing jobs and mostly running the blueprint machine in the basement. The current office project at this time was -North Pole High School- consisting of about 65 sheets and had to be bound into 15 sets. (smelly ammonia machines)

Sometimes Mr. Bob Grey, PE gave me several Structural Diagrams to turn into Details of Structural beam joints.

RCA Service Company (NASA) Nov. 1964 - Jan. 1973

Gilmore Creek Tracking Station

P.O. Box 81

Fairbanks, AK 99701

Job Title: Drafter/Electronics Technician

After the failure of the NIMBUS Weather Satellite my contract with California Computer Products had ended. We were given the choice of remaining in Alaska or having our way paid back to California. Many went back but I took a job with the RCA Service Company which managed the station for NASA. Because of my education in electronics and familiarity with electronics and space terminology RCA offered me a job as the Station Librarian and Drafter. My job was to maintain the Station Library, catalog and organize documents, draw schematics of suggested changes in the configuration of satellite communications equipment to be sent to the Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt, Maryland. I also made as-built drawings of buildings and all buried cables within the boundaries of the Station. My supervisor was Mr. Ross Covington and I surveyed with an engineer whose name was (is) James Robinson, PE.

CALCOMP - (California Computer Products) Jun. 1961 - Oct. 1964

2411 West La Palma Ave.,

Anaheim, CA 92801

Job Title: Electronics Drafter

I went to work for CALCOMP as a Circuit Board Designer exactly as I had been at Autonetics. They developed a Plotter which was sold for many years to Engineering Offices all over the country. The company also tried to interest the Casinos of Reno and Las Vegas in an electronic slot machine but people did not care for the feel of them.

I worked on the NIMBUS Ground Station and the NIMBUS Satellite Clock. I designed several boards for the ground station and one for the clock. I was offered a job as Field Engineer (junior grade) to go to Alaska`s Gilmore Creek Tracking Station for the purpose of installing the NIMBUS Ground Station. I was told it would be a 6 month trip but it lasted 10 months. The Satellite lasted about 36 hours after it was launched. It was determined that the axle of the Solar Panels had frozen due to the type of grease used and the batteries could only be used briefly to communicate weather pictures to earth. I had been in Alaska about 13 months and decided to stay on rather than return to California.

Autonetics May.1959 - Jun. 1961

a Division of North American Aviation, Inc.

9150 E. Imperial Highway,

Downey, CA 92801

Job Title: Electronics Drafter

I went to work for Autonetics as soon as I left the Army the same company I started with but with a name change during my absence. I was hired as an Electronics Draftsman (Circuits Design department). The circuit boards I designed were made using government specifications. The circuit boards were drawn in ink on a sheet of Mylar film measuring 30- x 42-. The circuits were drawn from schematic circuit diagrams which we had to draw from sketches we were furnished by the electronics engineers. Then we used these as our road maps in laying out the physical circuit board. Once the Mylar was laid out and inked, they were photographed and reduced to size. They were then etched in an acid bath, plated with a thin film of gold, and sent to an assembly line where components were inserted and soldered in place by robot machinery.

United States Army - Corps of Engineers Jul.1956 - May. 1959

U.S. Army Map Service, Far East

APO 500 San Francisco CA

Rank E-5 (MOS 822.16)

I reported for duty with the 4th Armored Division at Fort Hood, Texas. This was for basic training after which I was sent to Fort Belvoir, Virginia to the Engineer School where I was stationed about 4 months to learn 2nd order Topographic Surveying.

I was taught to use the T2 Theodolite instrument, the Dumpy level and plane table, and do mathematical problems using logarithmic tables. We also climbed 100 foot high steel tower which was used to do night time surveying for triangulation with other towers about 20 miles distant. (I was a little nervous at first but got used to it.)

After graduating from the Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, I was shipped to Japan where I spent +2 years in Tokyo at the U.S. Army Map Service, Far East in S2 taking care of SECRET documents. Here is where I got my second security clearance. I was the only occupant of this office and had the only key and access to the safe. I was ordered to not leave the post without leaving an itinerary of my whereabouts and forbidden to stay out after dark. After 2 years my vacation time was still unused. I was told that I was very trusted and that made me feel good.

North American Aviation, Inc. Jun.1956 - Jul.1956

Lakewood Blvd.,

Downey, CA 92801

Job Title: Mechanical Drafter

I came to North American Aviation straight out of drafting school where I finished and received my Associate-in-Arts degree. My experience with North American was brief as I was called into the Army thirty days later. I was given the task of drawing several small but accurate gears used in an Inertial Guidance system used in the NAVAJO project. I gained my Secret clearance to work here just as the Army called me away. I was given credit for having worked there all the time I was in the Army. So when I came home, I had 3 years seniority.
