Summary

In my 27 years working at the City of Fort Collins I have been a part of every aspect of our fleet operation, either by holding a position or by filling in when a position if vacant. My extensive knowledge of our fleet processes and my relationship with department managers and staff, make me a perfect candidate for the Senior Supervisor position.

I look forward to the opportunity to help lead our organization to the next level of fleet maintenance.
