Since the 1970s, I have worked for about 8 companies installing audio/video systems, alarm systems, CCTV, data & voice wiring in residential & commercial applications, requiring a vast, working knowledge of carpentry, construction, plumbing & electrical wiring to do it well & successfully. I am adept at using all hand & shop tools, and work well on sites with other trades. I am familiar with codes & standards required for plumbing & electrical installations. I have my own shop & tools where I've made furniture and artwork in Northport. I am extremely mechanically inclined, and if I don't know how to do or use something, I am ready, willing and able to learn. I believe I can be a great asset to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories.
