I have a versatile career background in the Electrical, Utility, Gas Compression and Oil Field markets. By nature I enjoy hunting for opportunities, meeting with new people and fostering relationships. Seeing a Sale /Project through from its inception to close is very rewarding. Being very mechanically inclined with an eye for detail coupled with my passion for exceptional customer service, I would be a strong addition to a winning team.
