Summary
I began my career in the construction trades and gravitated towards Facilities Management. I owned a construction and home rehabilitation company from 2001 to 2008. My companies fell victims to the market crash of 2008. I have embraced the Facilities roles and have progressed to a regional role most recently. I have decided to look for opportunities more local than my previous position in Boston. Dedicated Maintenance Supervisor offering 15 years of successful team management in maintenance-driven roles. Adept at scheduling facilities maintenance to minimizing downtime and safety hazards. Well-versed in equipment troubleshooting and repair with focus on quality and efficiency.
