I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla. I am willing to relocate and travel. During my twelve years in the electric utility industry, I have worked in the field with the Original Equipment Manufacturers and Plant Maintenance to resolve numerous problems. My experience includes the design and construction of three power plants. In addition to new construction, I have supervised 4 engineers who were responsible for budgeting, designing and overseeing the construction of many capital improvement projects. While I have worked in the electric utility business and military component procurement, my background is in Mechanical Engineering. I have a strong knowledge of pumps, fans, heat exchanger, system performance testing, water treatment reverse osmosis and gas transfer membrane.

Employment Objective

Mechanical Engineer seeking employment in Project Engineering or System Engineering with an opportunity for continued professional growth. I am willing to relocate and travel.

Major Accomplishments

Supervised Engineering Department at a 1125 Megawatt Power Station

The department with 4 plant engineers, 3 instrument technicians, and 1 technical service clerk is responsible for budgeting and implementing capital improvement projects, installing and maintaining performance testing equipment to aid in EPA reporting and daily production efficiency.

Implemented a Predictive Maintenance Program

This program in conjunction with the original equipment manufacturers and plant maintenance would schedule plant equipment outages for maintenance. Through the use of vibration monitoring and performance testing, equipment could be scheduled for corrective maintenance when materials were on hand and system load would allow.

Redesigned a Major Material Handling System

Through the incorporation of two adjacent systems with minor capital investment major operational and maintenance problems with boiler bottom ash were reduced or eliminated.

Enhanced Feedwater Heaters Operation

Redesigned feedwater heater drain flows to preserve heaters and maintain cycle efficiency.

Improved Induced Draft Fan Capacity

Redesigned Induced Daft Fan inlet vanes by eliminating the spoilers to allow greater flow capacities. The increase capacity resulted in an increase of 25 Megawatts on three 500 Megawatt Units.

Experience 1999 to 2002 - Lead Components Engineer-E88 Newport News Shipbuilders

1994 to 1999 - Self employed in private real estate and machine operation and maintenance

1983 to 1994 - Senior Plant Engineer for Oklahoma Gas & Electric, Oklahoma City, OK

Education: B.S. Mechanical Engineering with an Engineer in Training from University of Missouri-Rolla
