Summary
I have been with the City of Cedar Rapids since 1995 getting my start as a seasonal employee working my way to a Supervisor. Along the way I have gained Valuable experience in all types of construction methods. I have great working relationships with many Supervisors and front line staff within other City Sections will make this transition smooth and easy. I have been on many Committees such as our state wide Snow Plow Operators Training and Roadeo in the last few years and have had to give presentations at a couple APWA events. I bring many years of experience dealing with Natural Disasters such as Snow events, Floods, Wind and Derecho storms. Being able to adapt to a changing landscape under pressure is a skill learned over my career with the City.
