Exectutive management - ocean platform and energy projects
Hawaiian Islands
My idea of a satisfying career does not put money in the number one spot – being challenged to continue acquiring new skills and competencies, improving existing ones, working with and leading diverse groups in new environments brings excitement and fulfillment to that four letter word “work”. I have been blessed with family and friends that have encouraged me to go after my dreams. I understand that it is sometimes necessary to take a step back to get to the next milestone (living in Kauai!) and I am willing to prove value by demonstrating my capabilities and dedication to excellence.
My path has been one of hands on construction in the trades and with increasing responsibility and project size in supervision, contracting and management of complex technical projects. My business philosophy can be simply stated – that if I meet any client or associate I have ever worked with or for on the street, I can look them in the eyes and know that I met or exceeded their expectations.
Executive Construction or Program and Project Management – Excellent communication skills, ability to manage multiple projects, attentive to details, proven leadership qualities, team builder, level-headed crisis manager, strong financial & cost/benefit analysis experience, clear understanding of construction means, documents and standards, and project management methodologies; experienced subcontract administrator.
