Here my focus areas were Program Management, Project and Construction Management, Operations and Maintenance Budgets and Execution, Environmental Compliance.• Arriving at the VPA, I assumed leadership of an Engineering Department for a major port that had lacked direction for over one year, and immediately created a program focused on three business areas: new construction, facility maintenance, and environmental compliance.

We immediately achieved documented results, including a detailed financial management system to plan and monitor the execution of these programs. • I completed a compressed program of major capital expansion construction projects for a $40M container terminal and six other infrastructure projects valued at over $12M.
