Qualifications Summary

I possess over 30-years of

experience in the public works

industry, twenty-seven of those

years as a government official.

My career was built on successes

in three states (CA, RI, FL)

bordering three different coasts.

I’ve achieved a thorough

understanding of laws,

regulation, and complex

governmental processes that are

required to plan, design, permit,

construct, and operate simple to

complex public infrastructure. I

strive to provide the highest

levels of service to each

community. I’m uniquely skilled

in leadership, negotiations, and

customer service. My work

experiences are understood by

public works employees where

trust is earned through

knowledge and experiences. I

understand the complex financial

challenges and opportunities of

funding public works projects

and services. I’ve developed

strong relationships with my

peers and am up-to-date on

cutting edge technologies within

my industry. I’m an exceptional

communicator who can convey

technical information in a clear,

concise, and focused manner.

I’m certified in the Incident

Command System (ICS) - 400

level and have applied this

training to flood, earthquake, and

hurricane events in the

communities I’ve served.
