I have over 33 years of experience as a Licensed Journeyman/Foreman in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. I have acquired a vocational certificate for completion of a government approved electrical apprenticeship program from the NJATC in 1998. I am currently working in the San Jose and Silicon Valley area mainly on Data Centers at various locations. I have worked in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota and have experience in industrial automation control of electrical oil field equipment. I have over 14 years experience in running a service truck with a multitude of troubleshooting, small projects, inspecting, remodeling, emergency calls, and problem solving duties. I have experience in new construction as a General Foreman and a Foreman on several multimillion dollar contracts. Experience working as an Industrial Electrician for a contractor at Eastman Chemical on Industrial control work. Worked for a contractor under the direction of the military and Task Force Power. Worked primarily at various FOB's and military bases, supporting the military and US Army Corps of Engineers, with the electrical assessment, inspection, and the electrical repair of all Life, Health, and Safety issues on U. S. military bases in Afghanistan. I have been involved in the complete re-wiring of several facilities, and have done projects for the Corps of Engineers. I was responsible for working on American 120/208V 60 Hz systems, as well as European 220/380V 50 Hz systems. I was responsible for all reports, time sheets, and documentation to my supervisor. I am also interested in taking the necessary college courses to obtain a BS in project management and/or Electrical Engineering.

I have a proven track record both as a Foreman and a Journeyman Electrician in the Electrical Industry. I am a knowledgeable Foreman with the skills and leadership necessary to get the project done on time and budget, while adhering to all safety regulations and code requirements.
