SUMMARY

I have spent the last 24+ years working in the telecommunications industry, mainly in the Portland area. I started from the ground up, installing the facilities and then the equipment. Now, I plan and design complex systems for all types companies/organizations. I also proactively help identify possible challenges during the installation and implementation processes. I am seeking a new opportunity that will utilize my knowledge of all types of networks, present new challenges, and give me new responsibilities.
