Electrical Engineering - Industrial Maintenance

717-***-**** ******@*****.***

Starting off as a Mechanical Engineering disciple, I am now an Electrical Engineer from Pennsylvania State University with 15+ years of experience in Industrial Maintenance. I consider myself a technical fixer with a versatile background and skills ranging from problem solving via root-cause analysis to R&D and Systems Control. I enjoy being part of a team, as well as leading one, motivating and training a productive team, and thrive in high pressure and challenging working environments.
