All of my career has involved maintenance and installations of highly technical equipment. I have a can-do attitude from the Marine Corps, and a calm demeanor tempered by decades of hi-pressure situations. I enjoy demanding positions, and confront issues using avionics technical training from the USMC, a computer science degree, and hands-on experience in PLC and VFD motor control technologies.. My resume is unorthodox, but necessary to highlight the combination of unique skills I’ve learned from the exciting career I’ve enjoyed. I am comfortable working as a team member not afraid of getting dirty, a leader...able to handle multiple tasks needed for project coordination and to guide other technicians.

After 2022 I began steps to retire, but many companies were still contacting me about open positions they were needed to fill. I am currently looking for a position that utilizes my skills and allows mentoring for junior maintenance techs.
