Summary
After being discharged from the Army in 1974, I went to work in construction. Starting as a concrete laborer, I advanced to the positions of Foreman, Superintendent, Buyer, Purchasing Manager, Material Manager, General Superintendent and then to the position of Kiewit Power District Purchasing/Material Control lead for all their Power Projects. I was a dedicated Logistics and Inventory Management professional with 25 plus years of experience in multiple environments.
Currently retired and not looking for a position in senior management. looking more for an entry or mid level position where a person can stay engaged and simply make a contribution. Full time or part time work is fine and the compensation is only a secondary concern.
