Additional Information
Military service taught me a great deal about time, resource and personnel Management. I was able to apply those skill to the subsequent positions in management opportunities leading multiple crews and large cap projects around the greater Houston area. When given the opportunity to join Centerpoint Energy in 2016, I took great pride in the position and continue to share the knowledge that I have gained by teaching new apprentice lineman.
