Over 40 years I have had an oddly broad experience in Telecommunications, having held operational, engineering, managerial and director roles in Engineering, Operations, Business Solutions and Land Right Of Way. I have worked on national and international assignments in multiple telecom partnerships with industry leaders. I have also worked throughout rural Saskatchewan and listened to the coyotes sing in the fields on winter mornings while working on grease filled cable at -35C. All of this was rewarding and I am grateful. Along with being a digital switching, transmission and cellular SME, I lead large teams of management and unionized staff, delivered strategic and tactical plans for large telecom networks and was accountable for capital network budgets in excess of $250M. Big boy stuff. For over a decade I directed a large technical solutions staff in a rapidly changing Business Sales environment. I am very proud of the team that reported to me and served our company and province so well in that period. I end my career in Land Management, settling land disputes with grouchy old landowners which is no mean feat. I have few regrets and know I am fortunate to have a storied career.I was also fortunate to work on solving national voice traffic routing problems, characterized VoATM traffic with simulation software development, participated in global standards forums, negotiated international carrier traffic agreements, developed external partnerships and built mutually beneficial relationships with vendors. This occurred when airplanes still served steak and ice cream as I travelled Canada extensively and many countries abroad. I miss the hot hand towels and leg room.I had 40 years with one company name on my paycheque, but many wildly varied experiences that I will always deeply appreciate.I am told I was an entertaining, if not competent, presenter and I also had decent technical writing skills. Some people I respect said some nice things to me. That's gold, friend. Closer to the heart, I believe I am a good judge of character and always wanted my people to have their 'best life'. I tried to make that happen for them however I could. I am proud of my work ethic, honesty, integrity and support of others; I have had senior leaders tell me they do not support having friends work for them and trust me, they are very successful in that goal. I choose otherwise and it is still paying dividends. I hope you choose the same.That's me in a distorted, self aggrandizing profile nutshell. Cheers!
