Summary

Hardworking individual who was the only contractor to receive the Bull Rider award from Austal for excellent performance and turn-around time on a Navy Littoral Combat Ship in Guantanamo Bay. Service achievement was awarded by the Captain of the Navy LCS warship himself.

Worked overseas, as well as offshore, for Oil & Gas industry as Construction Superintendent/Supervisor, and when first starting out, as a welder/fabricator. Oversaw the construction side decommission of the Exxon Lena platform (tallest structure in Gulf of Mexico), which was then turned to an artificial reef. To conclude, I have experience in management, comp security, welding/fabricating, and some operations management. Working safely, whilst completing the job in a timely fashion is the goal.
