2121 Pech Rd. Apt 146 Houston, TX 77055
******.******@*****.*** (M) 281-***-****
Intelligent:
I have designed, built, and supported large-scale hydraulic and pneumatic oil field equipment,
automatic tank welding systems and more. I managed all subsequent service, documentation, customer
support and training.
I have mastered running and managing television networks, web and graphic design and
anything technical or mechanically based.
Excellent problem solving abilities, no matter what the subject matter is. I am intelligent (and
modest when I am not interviewing), well-rounded, proactive and I take great pride in my innovative
solutions.
Responsible:
I ran the prime time shift of the main network for Fox Sports Network more than any other
operator. I would typically coordinate the site producer, the in-house effects crew, all in-house networks
and all outside affiliates who were riding my air, all while running my own network and content. I would
routinely be in charge of up to a dozen or more networks and 2 to 3 dozen operators all at once.
I assisted with additional shifts supervising all the Fox networks, including double shifts. I believe
in the greater good and doing whatever it takes to help my team.
I trained 50+ people at Fox and was instrumental in shaping the way our operations and training
were performed. My manager liked the depth of how I taught myself and wanted all of our new employees
to learn the equipment and procedures in the same detail I had taught myself.
I have been hired out on contract numerous times for my employer’s special side projects,
including starting a field service department for Dowell Schlumberger (including operating and training on
a large flange facing machine that I designed).
I have also designed a home in Nada, TX and a subsequent guest home featuring new building
technology for a former employer for his retirement.
I was also contracted out for a high-end custom rifle manufacturer designing gun parts. I also
designed their new production facility layout and also handled all the transport, setup and sales at dozens
of tradeshows around the U.S. as well for them.
Versatile:
I have worked numerous tradeshows for 3 different industries all around the U.S. and Mexico for
Durango, Alpha Arms, CACO Manufacturing and Grace Instrument.
I have handled design, parts specifications, cost analysis, purchasing, manufacturing, assembly,
shipping, training, support, service and whatever else was needed.
I went into Fox Sports with absolutely no experience and left one of the best operators they had.
Many of my own training and operational procedures at Fox are now standard practice, and all in
a job having more pressure and opportunities for mistakes than anywhere I have ever seen.
Team Player:
I always look out for my company’s best interests and am happy to do whatever is needed of me
to help my team. I have always been a believer that the company’s needs should always come first.
I am friendly, outgoing and very positive. I take special pride in my work and in helping my co-
workers and customers find the right solutions.
I am patient, helpful and an excellent teacher. I can converse comfortably with anyone on just
about any subject and firmly believe that good, fast customer support is the main reason a client will come
back.
Thank you very much for your consideration and your time.
