Summary

Goal-focused QA/QC manager / welding specialist / field inspector with over 29 years’ experience in a very wide range of areas in the construction industry as shown below. The last 17 years have been very focused on QA/QC, always trying to better my growing knowledge of engineering, codes, and industry processes. I feel that my overall knowledge of construction is an asset for identifying inefficiencies, then correcting them with communication through crucial relationships that are developed on site with project management or at the field level with construction groups.
