I’m a motivated and creative engineer with over 19 years of experience. I’m highly adapatable, I work well independently, as part of a team, and I am as comfortable working in tandem with others as I am leading them. I enjoy new challenges, but also have great patience attending to details necessary to delivery outstanding value.
