over the years headed a drafting department and worked as a Designer/Technician in Civil, Mining,

Structural, and Electrical projects. I also managed a Maintenance Department/ Machine Shop at a

cigarette factory. Most recently I owned a Snap On Tool Franchise. If you are seeking someone that can

wear a lot of hats, I can bring a lot of experiences to the table.
