My 12 years of international Contract Management experience include: major refinery expansion projects in Algeria and Venezuela; a 3-year assignment in Singapore on an offshore gas platform project; a pipe line project in Bolivia; and going on two years on infrastructure projects for the Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. My experience in these diverse environments has allowed me to appreciate different cultures and to hone my ability to communicate ideas that are essential to the safe, efficient, and successful execution of construction projects.

My 17 years of Project Controls experience was on grass-roots, facility expansion, and turn-around projects on petrochemical, refinery, and paper mill facilities across the southeastern United States.

It is my belief that teamwork and effective communication are essential ingredients to the success of most endeavors. I am looking forward to an opportunity to apply the skills that I have developed, which have helped me to be effective over the course of my career. Further, I hope to utilize my knowledge of the construction industry to contribute to the safety, quality, and success of other construction management / execution projects.
