Summary

An IBEW 351 electrician with over 30 years experience. I believe my longevity in a trade and working at a variety of buildings and sites gives me the much needed experience it takes to manage a team. I want to take my knowledge, background, and management skills and lead this the team to operate efficiently throughout each campus. As a union electrician, we work out of the hall, and I have worked for a long list of companies. Casinos, oil refineries, hospitals, solar projects, smart meter changes, walmarts and even high schools including Oakcrest High School.

I believe I would be an asset to your school. I am a strategic supervisor with expertise prioritizing projects, planning workflow and managing employees to achieve operational goals. Resourceful individual with many years of active experience managing efforts within deadline-driven environments. Diplomatic individual with strong leadership and decision-making skills.
