Summary
I currently work at the Thunder Valley Casino as a Senior Engineer Specialist. I maintain operation at the central plant and have so for over 9 years. Aside from plant operations I have also expanded my experience to casino and hotel operations including shift lead. Working with a crew and improving our efficiency and seeing overall morale improve has been very rewarding. I have also worked as a power plant operator and mechanic for several landfill gas to energy power plants and the experiences have been invaluable.
