As the Energy Advisor, I provided support to the Construction Services Department by researching and prioritizing projects related to energy reduction for all of five of the main campus' in the Northwest Wisconsin Region. I conducted audits of any and all equipment that consumes energy such as; Boilers, Chillers, Air handlers, Coils, Steam Traps, Lighting, etc. I maintained up to date spreadsheets that track energy consumption for all five sites. I presented and discuss this data at each… Show more As the Energy Advisor, I provided support to the Construction Services Department by researching and prioritizing projects related to energy reduction for all of five of the main campus' in the Northwest Wisconsin Region.

This was a very small painting company that was started by myself and two friends as summer work. the experience and knowledge I gained during those months was absolutely astounding. I have had experience painting before, but never being my own boss. I soon came to the realization that owning a business is not fun and games. Everything was riding on our shoulders from being at the job site on time to advertising, and obviously the painting. The ability to communicate was imperative… Show more This was a very small painting company that was started by myself and two friends as summer work. the experience and knowledge I gained during those months was absolutely astounding. I have had experience painting before, but never being my own boss. I soon came to the realization that owning a business is not fun and games. Everything was riding on our shoulders from being at the job site on time to advertising, and obviously the painting. The ability to communicate was imperative, whether it was talking with a customer to find out exactly what he or she desired for their house, or dealing with a disagreement between the three of us. We began to have team meetings to decide the plan of attack for the day. Using our personal areas of expertise we began to function like a well oiled machine. Show less

Roadview is a company that sends vans/trucks around the country taking pictures of the roads as the the vehicle moves. As a Data Processor I looked over many of these pictures and rated the severity of the distress' in the roads. This information was sent to the state so they knew where to deploy crews to fix their roads.
