Career Summary
I am a candidate with successful deployment experience in the wireless industry. Starting as a tower climber and entering project management has afforded me the opportunity to have a more thorough understanding of all phases of site development, raw lands, roof tops, tower mods and collocations. I continually analyze the operation with the intent to improve processes of direct report teams, vendors, contractors, architects and engineers who specialize in deployment of wireless networks. In doing so, my teams meet the deployment and financial goals of our shareholders.
The management philosophy that I strive to inspire is; “Everyone is my customer.”
