OBJECTIVE

To obtain a position in maintenance/management or engineering where my experience and technical ability can help the company grow and achieve new heights in reliability and production.

EXPERIENCE

1993-2004

E&I TECHNICIAN, GREAT LAKES CHEMICAL

Provided E&I support to all units at the Great Lakes’ facility. During 1993 to 1996 I worked as an E&I technician for the Greatlakes South plant facility in El dorado, Arkansas. I began this job at 18 years old and was the youngest E&I technician that Great Lakes had ever hired. I spent these 3 years hands on and in multiple training classes on all types of instrumentation and DCS equipment FOXBORO, ROSEMOUNT, YOKOGAWA, Bailey, ROCKWELL and as many others. In 1997 I transferred to the Great Lakes Central plant facility as a technician and work the next 9 years in that capacity often filling in for as lead man for the supervisor at the time Marvin McCalman. I left Great Lakes in 2004 to pursue my own personal business that I had been growing for the last 9 years.

2005 – PRESENT

E&I SUPERINTENDANT, EL DORADO CHEMICAL

I signed on with El Dorado Chemical in March of 2005 as a contract E&I team member as I decided not to pursue my personal business interests and looked to focus on my corporate career. In April of 2005 I was asked to join the Eldorado Chemical team as a full-time employee and one month later became the E&I supervisor for the sites E&I department leading the E&I technicians. In 2008 I became the E&I superintendent and absorbed responsibility for the E&I planners and the DCS programmers. I have always insisted that my title be E&I team leader as I believe in leading by example and the titles of (Supervisor or Superintendent) is not the way I want my direct reports to see me.

In May of 2012 our site suffered a catastrophic event and sent us into major reconstruction efforts for the next 4 years. During this time, I served not only as the E&I superintendent but in lieu of an Electrical engineer I was assigned the main oversite for the next 4 years of E&I construction. We completed the construction in late 2016, the project with a cost of 800 million dollars for site reconstruction and expansion. I was assigned the task of overseeing all the new electrical and instrumentation/controls construction and design for the site including a new installation of a Rockwell automation control system, 15 megawatt Cogen power station, a completely new 13.8 volt overhead system to power 3 new plants being added to the site as well as a 5 million dollar centralized control room. I have also led the development of the total sites’ Preventative Maintenance program for the electrical and instrumentation department and risk ranking of our equipment. I am also currently on the corporate MRT (Maintenance Reliability team) for LSB industries.

I have had experience in leading crews from as small as 7 people to crews in over the excess of 50. These crews were from all different background and ages, hourly and salary union and not union inhouse and contract. I am currently responsible for 11 technician 2 DSC programmers and one planner. I have been responsible for all the sites Electrical and instrumentation capital project from design to funds appropriation and completion up 1.5 million dollars.

I have been asked serval times about my style of supervision so here it is.

I believe in giving my people the tools to do the work expected of them setting expectations and holding them accountable. As well as holding myself accountable. I will not ask any one to do a job unless I will do it myself. I am laid back and easy to get along with and I expect my personnel to do their job that they are trained to do to the best of their ability with honor and integrity. I believe in leading by example.
