Summary

Talented former Superintendent offering 10 years of experience supporting construction aspects of various projects. Successful at overseeing communication and operations between teams, vendors and design professionals. Focused on keeping projects on time and under budget using time management and prioritization skills.

I feel I have spent many years in the wrong field. Im 35 years old looking for the opportunity to grow a career utilizing my mind and my field experience with business computer applications as well as my knowledge of industrial machinery and maintenance. I am highly motivated and have the ability to understand new concepts very quickly. The Navy taught me punctuality, how to work as a team and most importantly how to be a huge asset, Not a liability!!
