Worked as a heavy equipment operator working on many county projects using numerous types of machines: bulldozers, front end loaders, rollers, backhoes, graders, cranes are just some of the equipment used. Operating engineers require a good work ethic because of working on expensive and potentially dangerous equipment in close proximity around other people.

As a Mechanical Technician my career started at the Launch Pad working at the liquid Oxygen Storage and Distribution facility. Here we loaded the 900,000 gallon storage tank from tanker trucks, monitored the pressures, maintained the vacuum jacketed supply lines, preformed corrosion control on the structures, connected/disconnected the feed and vent lines to the Mobile Launch Platform and supplied the External Tank with Liquid Oxygen for flight. Also cross trained at the Liquid Hydrogen Storage Facility, Hypergolic Facilities, Swing Arms, Power Reactant Storage and Distribution system, and Payload Change Room preforming similar duties at these locations. Preformed hypergolic operations in a SCAPE (self-contained atmospheric protective ensembles) suit loading and offloading commodities from the Orbiter and Solid Rocket Motors at the Pads, from the Orbiter at the Orbiter Processing Facilities and from the Orbiter at NASA's Dryden Research facility in California. I was sent to Vandenberg Air Force Base for thirty days to validate the cryogenic vacuum jacketed supply lines at the Shuttle Launch Site at that facility. During the Challenger shut down I was assigned to a Tiger Team at the Orbiter Processing Facilities reviewing and investigating documents. During the return to flight effort for Discovery I was transferred from the Pad to the Orbiter Processing Facilities as an Orbiter Mechanic. Work included all aspects of mechanical maintenance, test and repair of Shuttle systems including hydraulic, pneumatic, pyrotechnical, hypergolic, other fluids, and cryogenic. A major function was being certified as a Space Craft Operator certified to operate the Orbiter after landing on the runway. Was a member on many teams identifying and correcting potential Safety hazards and process improvements. Maintained some 39 certifications and attended training classes to allow continued work on the Orbiter.
