Just another old fud in his declining years. Actually, I currently enjoy excellent heath and a relatively active lifestyle. I plan to attend some technical classes at the University of Wisconsin - Stout Campus.

I am currently serving in the Media Department as a video cameraman and/or grip (cable handler). I am undergoing training to be able to serve in the 'Celebrate Recovery' 12-step program. This is a "tent-maker" type position as I recieve no compensation from the Church.

Sized and routed ductwork, based on Trace/Trane input, so as to minimize conflict between various trades. Sized and routed associated utility piping as necessary.Speeded the completion of the HVAC design of the Baylor Sammons-Collins Hospital two weeks earlier than originally planned, providing the opportunity to drive additional work.Accelerated the HVAC layout and design for the Juanita Craft Community Center in East Dallas. The design document phase was completed approximately one month earlier than required. The contract document phase was planned to be proportionately early as well.

Took on additional design responsibilities on the Hobby Airport rework, freeing the senior mechanical engineer to concentrate on more profitable projects.Revised and refined the CAD Standards manual. This increased conformity with company and client standards and procedures, increasing productivity and reducing errors, saving the company significant costs.Initiated an AutoCAD “Tips and Tricks” in-house training newsletter, reducing external training costs and increasing employee knowledge and productivity.

Was part of a team supporting a defense-related site near Alice Springs, Australia. Also briefly worked at Ft. Greely, AK. That is one of the ground-based missle defense (GMD) achieving a consistent 95%+ rating by our customer. This is in a field in which a 70% rating is “Good” and 80% is “Exceptional”.This same team contributed well over $3M of profit to the parent company every year from award fee from the National Reconnaissance Organization (NRO).Duties:Laid out major project design drawings from broad verbal or written instructions, or from basic design concepts or ideas. Prepared and checked engineering drawings with direction provided by engineers with minimal drafting or CAD instructions.Collaborated with engineers for direction and approval on how to resolve design issues.Used independent, creative thinking and resourcefulness to develop technical solutions to complex problems and to identify design errors or omissions.Developed designs that met engineering requirements for mechanical, structural, architectural, and electrical systems.Defined, maintained, and released engineering data in electronic datasets or drawings. Ensured that designs and engineering data were accurate, integrated, clearly communicated, and complete. Insured conformity to standards and procedures.Developed basic data and made preliminary layouts, sketches, and notes to present design proposals and provide work instructions for other designers.ProductionReduced engineering drawing update file backlog by 80-90%. Cut response time on performing engineering drawing updates by approximately 50% (i.e. from weeks or months to days or weeks, depending on job size). InnovationWrote the Site Standard Procedure for using Ground-Penetrating Radar in conjunction with issuance of dig permits by the Corp of Engineers.
