Summary
My career started in 2000 when I graduated with an associates degree. I worked for 5 years as an electrician and was promoted to foreman at the age of 25, sadly Crum electric went out of busy after 11 years of service. I was quickly hired by CSX as a locomotive electrician where I worked for 6 years . Sadly they had a massive layoff in 2017 . I was quickly hired on as a Superintendent for MEC Where my role was to take on projects from conception to finish. In 2021 I accepted a role with GE as a technical advisor to CSX. In this role I advise the customer on how to priposp preventative maintenance and high level troubleshooting on the locomotives my company provides.
