SUMMARY

Twenty-five years involved in the piping field, from actual hands-on, to engineering and design, field management, and start-up coordination.  Experience ranges from small projects to major expansions.   Majority of experience is in heavy industrial - dealing with petro-chemical and pump and paper.  Well versed in AutoCAD Release 14 and capable of producing any type of mechanical, structural, civil and E&I drawing to direct the fabrication and erection of industrial projects.  My career has involved working in an operating environment and I maintain that safety is the highest priority in obtaining a good project.
