Accomplishments

I was past president of P.B.S. { People Based Safety } on the Sabine Pass L.N.G. project which was an organization started by management to promote safety on the project. I also interacted with the client on several occasions when testing and the client would be there to buy the line package off. I also attended a year of NCCER class onsite there as well.
