SUMMARY

I am a project manager that can oversee several projects simultaneously while maintaining a continues flow of productivity utilizing specific methodology dependent on the company structure, size, and complexity of the project. I am obsessed with streamlining each project to completion, on time and on budget, while continuously maintaining my leadership role in motivation and encouragement. I have over 7 years of working experience in project management in Construction, Custom Metal Fabrication, Manufacturing, and Monitoring. I also have several years of Estimating as well. I am looking for an organization that I can become a part of and that holds themselves at the same high level of integrity and ethics as I do.
