Click here or scroll down to respond to this candidateSUMMARYExperienced and Successful construction and engineering project management professional with over 30 years of experience. Beginning my career as a dirt laborer over the summer of my 13th birthday and throughout my teenage years where I learned the basics of concrete, masonry, pipe laying, and excavation & grading. I worked hard soaked up everything I could from the other guys who mostly had 30 years of experience under their belts. I began developing my skills as a craftsman in multiple trades, and continued to work on a part-time basis throughout my high school years when I wasnt playing football, running track, or fulfilling the requirements of an enlisted Marine awaiting shipping out to basic training.I continue to build on my knowledge through both formal education, as well as professional development training to help me rise through the ranks to Field and Operations Management on large-scale and high profile projects across the nation.*After many years of traveling for contract and project based positions, which was never my desire especially as the single father of my 2 sons, that I had custody of from the time they were ages 2 and 5. However due to the aforementioned and being displaced by the local economy in my long time field of heavy civil engineering, bridge & road, and site-work I had little option. I am ONLY seeking long term stable employment with an outstanding organization.Certificates, References, and other Supporting Documents can be given in .pdf format upon requestWORK EXPERIENCEApril 2000-CurrentOwner Operator - Consulting, Management, Journeyman Experienced Multi-Skilled TradesmanAW Engineering And Consulting ( Formerly AW General Contracting Starting 2000) Springfield, Illinois, United StatesSmall Business, Part Time, Sole-ProprietorshipMunicipal, Multi Family, Retail, Commercial and Residential Construction, Repair, Remodel, Masonry, Site work, Management and Consulting of small to medium size projects.March 2022-August 2022Project SuperintendentTanderen CompanyOrlando, Florida, United StatesLarge Site work and underground utilities projects in and around Metro Orlando area*Geneva School- Casselberry, FL*UCM School Addition- Winter Garden, FL.*Orlando Regional Realtors Assn- Orlando, FL2019-December 2021Project SuperintendentGC WorksGatlinburg, Tennessee, United StatesUS Department of Transportation, Nation Parks Service.
