Managing the US Signal data centers in Denver, CO, Bend, OR, and Gilbert, AZ.

Now that the data center is live, my role is as data center manager. I get to live with all the design guidance that I offered early on. The facility is great. Of the tours I've given, there is rarely a person that isn't impressed with what we built here. In May of 2017, the OneNeck Denver location achieved the Uptime Institute's M&O Certification.

Hired to oversee the construction of the new OneNeck data center in Denver. The construction completed July 2015. During the build process, my role is as the "owner's representative", performing project management and coordination. This allowed the owner's intent to be clearly communicated to the prime contractors on-site.
