Additional Information

I have spent 20 plus years in the repair service industry. The majority of that time has been spent unsupervised or field service related.

I take ownership of my equipment, tools and relationships.


I have found in my self a desire to seek out the root cause. I strive to take the time to educate my self and others in an attempt to correct any aspects of a situation that is sub-optimal.


I have four reasons to go home safely everyday. I expect that those around me do also. Safety is my first and foremost daily task. This mind set dictates the proper level of professionalism in all aspects of my day to day operations.
