INTRODUCTION & SUMMARY

I have over 30 years experience as a mechanical engineer. I have served as Project Manager, for plan /spec design projects, (HVAC, piping & plumbing)

My construction expertise includes roles as Sr. Cost Estimator, Construction Manager, , and resident engineer on various projects.

I have extensive expertise in design and construction administration of a variety of mechanical systems for air distribution, (HVAC) hydronic heating and cooling, the layout and design of central plants, large industrial pump systems, waste treatment plants, refrigeration equipment, plumbing, and fire protection including equipment and system application (s).

Specifically, I have expertise in design of HVAC systems relative to hospitals & health care facilities, laboratories, commercial, government, and marine applications, schools, power plants, hydroelectric & cogeneration plants, industrial & commercial buildings, high rise buildings, pharmaceutical, refineries, co-generation systems, office buildings as well as commercial institutions such as high rise / mixed use buildings, large grocery stores, warehouse conversions and telecommunication facilities (i.e.; plumbing, piping and related specifications, etc.), and many others.

My field project management construction experience includes high rise, mixed use facilities, industrial facilities as well as commercial and specialty applications such as data centers, hospitals, laboratories, and large civil projects including airports, pipelines and projects involving excavation, concrete construction and structural steel.

Activities included but not limited to, development of CPM schedules, cost estimates including line item costs for sub-contractors, long lead equipment identification and preparation of purchase orders.

OTHER INFORMATION

I have mentored engineers in my last 5 positions and have enjoyed that experience and looking forward to continuing.

I have taught classes for HVAC design, plumbing and estimating to insurance adjusters, and hosted presentations for the PLRB organization for insurance adjusters at the Westin Hotels located in Rhode Island, Chicago and Austin, Texas.

This was necessary for the insurance adjusters yearly license renewal requirements. T

The classes gave the insurance adjusters and attorneys the edge and information they needed to identify problems in claims, and knowledge gained to present information to the various experts as required.

Proficient in marketing, presentations to prospective clients.
