OBJECTIVE BUILD A TEAM THAT CAN HIT THE TARGET EVERY TIME!!


Here are a few of my skills and abilities. Technical support Job planning & implementation. Team Building, Leadership, Time Management, and Project Delivery. I am able to understand telecom details, and formulate expense reduction models, attention to detail with strong organizational and problem-solving skills, knowledge and understanding of financial oversight and management, including billing accruals, allocations, budgeting, and forecasting.

I started telecom in 2008. I worked my way up in the field. I started my carrer doing civil construction making 10 dollars an hour for 6 months. Then I got my first raise, making 12 dollars an hour. From there I moved over to the RF tower installation, where I quickly worked my self into foreman position. In less than 2 years. I have traveled too and from many different States stacking towers, running coax, fiber, power and hanging antennas for 9+Years. From there I jumped into the management level of a Construction Manager. I quickly moved up to a Sr. Construction Manger in less than 1 year and from there I moved up to a Sr. Project Manager. I have managed multiple projects and teams in these years from Raw Land New Site Builds, Intergrations, Tower Mods, Fiber and Power delivery, Small Cell New Builds and Mods. I am a very motivated and passionate man. I love my career and the skill set I have gained while growing with the telecom industry.
