Dear Sir or Madam:

Attached for your consideration is my resume which provides an outline of my extensive professional experience managing highly complex projects. Throughout my entire professional career I have been recognized as a top tier performer in every organization I have worked for and have an impeccable history of adding great value to both my employers and clients.

I have a demonstrated ability to translate concepts and ideas into tangible solutions. My ability to grasp the technical attributes of the project, identify activities and their interactions necessary to achieve an end, anticipate and mitigate risks, create cohesive teams and the synergies that result, have enabled me to produce consistently superior results. I have applied these abilities to lead projects successfully from initial concept, just as I have been tasked with taking over projects mired in chaos and leading them to successful outcomes.

For example, I managed concept through detailed design of a National Institute of Health (NIH) sponsored biopharmaceutical facility that was recognized as extraordinarily successful for the NIH considering its high degree of design functionality as well as on budget and schedule project performance. My employer and my clients both have benefited greatly from my ability to integrate my knowledge of engineering and business management to establish and execute a plan leading to their success.

I joined the URS (now AECOM) nuclear division at a time when the regulatory and political environment was conducive to the design and construction of new nuclear power plants. At the time of my arrival, there were senior managers already selected to manage these strategically critical projects. However, as a relative newcomer in a company with 10's of thousands of employees, it was not long based on my personal performance that I was recognized as the manager who should lead the Luminant Comanche Peak nuclear new build project. It was only the shift in the political and economic landscape that brought this project to an end prior to construction.

What drew me to Babcock Power was the opportunity to manage major new projects through construction, and a company that was exploring prospective new markets. It was an unfortunate turn of events that Federal regulations have virtually eliminated their primary business for the design and construction of large scale pollution control systems. As a result, I am now exploring opportunities with a new organization, to lead major projects and add extraordinary value as I have done repeatedly and consistently throughout my professional career.

Sincerely

Gary Stark
