CORE ATTRIBUTES

Creative Thinker: Unique challenges require unique, creative solutions. My skills in this area have paid off many times when dealing with unconventional teaching opportunities.

Analytical and discerning: My years of experience have given me the ability to recognize the critical issues in any technical challenge and it gives me the motivation to creatively adapt to the environment at hand.

Resilient and resourceful: Setbacks that might derail others are learning opportunities for me. I learn from my mistakes and do not repeat them. I rebound quickly. My focus remains strong and disciplined, and more often than not leads to a successful outcome.

Goal focused: With an understanding that a large measure of success in engineering is the willingness and ability to meet production goals, I have a strong record of setting high standards for success and reaching those standards.

Adaptable and creative: When it becomes clear to me that Plan A is not going to work, I can come up with an effective Plan B without dwelling on the failure of Plan A.

Proactive and Determined: Without being pushy or obnoxious, I recognize that I have a responsibility to make things happen instead of just reacting to what happens.
