As a full-time engineering student, this temporary summer opportunity refined my both my maintenance and troubleshooting skills while dramatically increasing my understanding of industrial HVAC. My employment here can be divided into two experiences: my time with the Oil Burner Shop and my time with the Power Plant.Oil Burner is an outdated term for the Oil Burner Shop. All of the oil burning boilers have been converted to burn gas or have been replaced with modern gas boilers. While with the Oil Burner Shop, I learned how boilers function and how to inspect and clean them. I also spent many hours disassembling convectors, cleaning them, then reassembling and repairing them as needed. I excelled so efficiently that I literally worked myself out of a job in half the expected time.As a result, I transferred to a steam power plant on the JMU campus. This proved to be a valuable opportunity that exponentially increased my knowledge base and skill set. While at the power plant, I quickly devoured the technical manuals on the steam boilers and steam-driven chillers. This enabled me to assist the maintenance crews during troubleshooting operations from a knowledgeable standpoint and provide input that would resolve issues to quickly restore the plant to full operational status. I removed and replaced components and completed that preventative maintenance tasks. I shadowed power plant operators learning and participating in the tasks required to ensure the plant ran efficiently, producing the chilled water supply to meet the demand. I also learned several new maintenance skills. I learned and became relatively proficient with a stick welder to the point where I was turned loose on projects not requiring a certified welder with full confidence from my supervisor that I would produce a quality product. I learned to cut thick metal with an acetylene torch. I also became confined space qualified so I could assist on steam line repairs in various manholes around campus.

I am responsible for mitigating shrink (which affects profitability), and the safety of all customers and associates.Shrink is the difference between what the store inventory reports is in stock, and what is actually on the shelves. I mitigate shrink by training new associates in ways to reduce shrink, ensuring all deterrence measures are in place, apprehending/detaining shoplifters, and working with the Commonwealth Attorney to prosecute the shoplifters apprehended. I am also responsible for the safety of the customers and associates. It is my mission to ensure that safety procedures are followed by all associates so that every customer that shops with Walmart and every associate that works at Walmart leaves the building without accruing any injuries that could affect their lives. I execute my mission by training all new associates in safety procedures, monitoring the salesfloor and backroom for safety hazards, assisting management in emergency situations, and investigating accidents that do occur on Walmart property.

The success of an event can rise or fall due to the quality of the environment in which the event is held. My responsibility at Embassy Suites was to ensure the success of events sponsored by our clientele through detail oriented setup of events in the hotel's convention center. My work assisted the hotel in maintaining its above-average client satisfaction rating which allows the hotel to continue its three-star rating.

I launched and recovered alert aircraft responsible for providing a communications link between the national decision makers and the nation's nuclear arsenal.

I was the start-up grill cook at Burger Studio, a division of Market One, on the campus of James Madison University. As the very first grill cook at the new restaurant, I helped to establish and test the procedures for delivering the customer a fresh quality product in an efficient, timely manner. I trained the replacement cook at the end of my semester there to run the restaurant effectively.
