Seasoned, versatile, productive and Successful Construction Project Ma

SUMMARY

Experienced and Successful construction and engineering project management professional with over 30 years of experience. Beginning my career as a “dirt” laborer over the summer of my 13th birthday and throughout my teenage years where I learned the basics of concrete, masonry, pipe laying, and excavation & grading. I worked hard soaked up everything I could from the other guys who mostly had 30 years of experience under their belts. I began developing my skills as a craftsman in multiple trades, and continued to work on a part-time basis throughout my high school years when I wasn’t playing football, running track, or fulfilling the requirements of an enlisted Marine awaiting shipping out to basic training.

I continue to build on my knowledge through both formal education, as well as professional development training to help me rise through the ranks to Field and Operations Management on large-scale and high profile projects across the nation.

*After many years of traveling for contract and project based positions, which was never my desire especially as the single father of my 2 sons, that I had custody of from the time they were ages 2 and 5. However due to the aforementioned and being displaced by the local economy in my long time field of heavy civil engineering, bridge & road, and site-work I had little option. I am ONLY seeking long term stable employment with an outstanding organization.
