I am an exceptionally motivated individual seeking continued employment in Industrial Safety bringing to the table more than 25 years of experience in a wide variety of industry including Power Generation, Oil and Gas Production, Processing and Refining, Pulp/Paper, and Telecommunications.

For the past nearly5 years I have been assigned as the Safety and Security Manager for New Horizons Telecom Inc. located in Palmer, Alaska. This assignment requires that I maintain a Top-Secret Clearance in order to support highly classified government projects.

My most recent power generation experience includes a two plus year assignment as the GE/Granite Regional safety Manager for the Mid-West and North West region of the United States and over 500,000 man-hours on GE projects without a First Aid, OSHA Record-able, or Lost Time Accident.

In the role of safety manager for GE/Granite I was responsible for all aspects of power generation including outages, new construction, Wind Turbine Power Generation, Gas and Steam Turbines, and accident investigation across the industry.

As a 14-year employee of Jacobs Engineering and using the established safety programs of Jacobs Engineering and Construction, I departed their company for Military Service without a lost time accident and very few “record-able” incidents.

My projects with Jacobs Engineering often exceeded 1,000,000-man hours worked, and included projects of National interest and security such as the Spallation Neutron Source project at the National Laboratory Oak Ridge TN, clean room technology projects for the pharmaceutical industry, and advanced “wind tunnel” test sites for the automotive industry.

During my career as a Safety Professional, I have been heavily involved with establishing training programs for such groups as the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company including Confined Space Entry and Atmospheric Monitoring, as well as being a major contributor in establishing the Ship Escort and Response Vessel System following the Exxon Oil Spill in the Prince William Sound.

Overseas experience includes Merck Pharmaceuticals in Madrid Spain completing over 600,000-man hours with zero accidents or injury.

This project was truly multinational with Engineering, Supervision, and Craft from the European Union, Africa, the Middle East and the United States.

I am known to have hands on, proactive approach to safety spending as much time as possible “in the field” where the work is actually being performed. Always making a point to recognize and greet every employee possible to demonstrate a “we care about your safety” attitude.

I am well liked, well respected and in demand as a Safety Professional known for establishing new projects with a goal to succeed safely and troubleshooting sites with poor safety performance.

Noteworthy Accomplishments:

In my career as a safety Professional I have developed, or been involved in the development of many of the safety process and procedures in use today

These procedures include;

Confined space procedures used by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company,

Ship Escort and Response Systems Safety procedures for the Alyeska Pipeline Terminal

Safety Observation Report and record keeping system for Jacobs Engineering Group

Safety Recognition and rewards policy for Jacobs Engineering

Hand and Arm Safety and Glove Policy for Jacobs Engineering and Granite Manpower

New Horizons Telecom Inc.

Safety and Security Manager FSO

I am the sole Safety Manager for this highly challenging assignment which includes preparing Site Specific Safety Plans, Safety Monitoring and Management, Training and Supply for cell tower placement in very remote locations such as the ones currently under construction between Cordova, and Yakutat, Alaska. This area spanning more than 200 miles is made up of Mountains, Glaciers, and other areas only accessible by sea or air. Towers range from sixty feet to over two hundred feet in height and require a high degree of skill and planning to complete safely and accurately linking all signals to provide phone and internet service to remote villages, and others.

To date we have projects in various stages of construction from as far north as Dead Horse and as far south as Ketchikan. These projects require constant monitoring and safety management.

In the rare and unlikely event of an accident or injury it is my responsibility to travel to, and investigate the accident or injury determine the root cause and corrective action to prevent re-occurrence.

During my tenure with New Horizons Telecom Inc., we have reduced our EMR from 1.8 to .87 and our lost time incident rate to 0.0.

Our Facility, due to existing government contracts has a Top-Secret rating which requires me to maintain a Top-Secret Clearance.

In this roll it is my responsibility to apply for and acquire clearances as needed for new employees assigned to our government contracts, to provide on boarding initial briefing and de-briefing as required by contract.

It is also my responsibility to keep employees up to date on required security training, perform annual self-inspections, prepare and submit foreign travel request to the DOD as required, and investigate any and all security related issues. This list is not all inclusive.

My certificates as Security Manager FSO are too many to list here but are available on request.
