PROFILE

I am a maintenance professional with a wide range of experience gained over 30 years. I started out as an electrician’s

helper then I served two enlistments in the Marines. The first one as a motorman and the second enlistment as a shop

NCO for intermediate level Structural Mechanics where I was directly reasonable for 12 Marines and the repairs

conducted on all parts in the shop. After the Marines, I worked as a maintenance technician where my main responsibility

was remove and install phone equipment for various service providers at communication office. I have also worked as a

mechanic preforming inspections and repairs on H-60 helicopters, C-130 and 135 planes. At Holcim, I started as a multi-

craft maintenance technician. After I went to college to finish my degree, I was promoted to the maintenance lead

reporting to the maintenance manager and was responsible for overseeing and coordinate the work performed within the

department and by outside contractors working for the department. I now hold the position of plant reliability coordinator.

This has included implementation of a condition bases monitoring process and predictive maintenance program.
