Objective Statement:
I am seeking a senior leadership role with innovative design or design/build organization. The ideal scenario would be a highly ethical, dynamic company that treats clients and employees with great integrity. I am open to relocation.
Experience Summary:
? Licensed professional engineer in numerous states.
? Extensive experience designing practical solutions to a wide range of civil/structural engineering situations.
? Provided engineering solutions to private owner, public agencies, architects, engineers, contractors and US military.
? Project manager & superintendent positions on large, medium and small construction projects.
Significant Accomplishments:
My most significant life accomplishment is to be the biological father of five children, stepfather to five, grandfather to eight and great grandfather to six. I am truly blessed.
I am most proud of being one of the founders of A Boost Up Foundation. Our charitable work fulfills me.
In my career I am most proud of helping 1200 homeowners and businessmen rebuild after the 1994 Northridge earthquake by providing engineering reports to their respective insurance companies. In addition, I provided similar services to residents of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast after hurricane Katrina.
My engineering calculations and testing helped the geodesic dome industry to be accepted into the mainstream construction world. I have had similar success with log and pole construction.
My ability to listen and to synthesize multiple points of view was a key factor in the smooth success of the 1985 San Antonio Convention Center Expansion.
