Summary

As a highly experienced and skilled project manager in the cable industry, I have over 25 years of experience working on various projects across the United States. My journey began with E-cable, Fl as a laborer on a missile crew to their primary drill operator on a Ditch Witch 110 ; working on and maintaining all functions in all directional drills. Through hard work and dedication, I quickly worked my way up to operations manager. I also worked on numerous, specialized, and very strict government jobs. In my other roles I have held positions as Crew Forman at Infratech, where I successfully managed teams and implemented strategies to improve efficiency and profitability to my most recent position of office manager of my very own office in Eustis fl; given to me because of my proven track record of generating significant revenue, implementing strategies to complete all jobs in a timely and strict manner, and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction with clients, and especially with upper management within Comcast. I am seeking a challenging role in a reputable company where I bring my skills and great rapport to each job and make sure they run smoothly to help ensure the success of each project and your company.
