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.
