Summary

Im team focused and in the belief that knowledge is power. Keeping a well trained team informed and motivated is a task that comes naturally for me. Documentation is everything in this field of work it will lead you to causes and solutions I believe anything worth writing down should be written down and logged. Communication is key to finding solutions, reasonable timeliness and establishing a pace at which tasks should and will be completed, I keep my communion lines strong between departments and upper management so were all in the know.
