Goals and Accomplishments
- I have spent my past years working in many areas of industrial maintenance and construction through the Millwrights Union. I found my niche and passion within the power generation industry and spent 16 years with my previous company Atlantic Plant Maintenance (Union labor division of General Electric Power Generation Services) they are an excellent company where I was able to develope my own career as well as help many others reach their goals as well, I only decided to step away after starting a new family and made the decision to stop traveling full time for work. This has led me to seeking a new career, closer to home that I can be passionate about and hopefully within a company that will provide a high cealing for growth, developement and a long career.
