I have received numerous inquiries about my experiences and background. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from National University and a Master of Science degree from the University of Phoenix. I am providing extracts from my Resume below to share some of my history for those interested. If you are familiar with Project Management; you will be interested to know that I have never had a Project over run it’s budget or finish late.  For those who are familiar with military careers, you will note that I am used to operating at significantly higher responsibilities compared to the grade that I held in most of my assignments in the military.

I was the Senior Project Manager of a $150M nuclear related project at the Nevada Test Site (NTS).  I managed the efforts of four Project Managers, each from a different Corporation, in order to complete design, construction, and placement of four scientific experimental machines in a high security facility.

Leading an excellent Team we recovered the schedule and moved the Project out of the Red.
