Summary

In my 29 years of construction experience and 12 years working as a Master Electrician, I have managed Healthcare, Advanced Manufacturing, Commercial, and Residential projects. I have coordinated the multidisciplinary installation and startup of industrial equipment, including in hazardous manufacturing facilities. Through all phases of the project, I facilitate effective communication between the owner, design team, and crews in the field. With an in-depth knowledge of safety, facility operations, and troubleshooting, I will be a valuable asset to any project team.
