Summary

I recently moved to South Carolina, and I am looking for a company that can use my vast experience in the industry. I am looking for a detailing position that I feel can best utilize my abilities. I worked in the highly competitive Mid-Atlantic market for 39 years, and during this tenure, I have experience working on schools, hospitals, office buildings, hotels, the NSA, the DOD, the Pentagon, the USACOE, and many other institutions. I have extensive knowledge of computer programs such as Software for Hardware, EPWS, Portal Pro, Contract ERP, and Comsense. I also have a certificate for fire door inspection through ALOA.
