Washington, D.C., Us

I’m the Program Manager for Mechanical Engineering at the General Service Administration’s Public Building Services, Northwest & Arctic Region (R10).

Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia, Us

As the sole Field Engineer for the Washington State, Hawaii and Alaska Military Commissaries (all branches). I provide technical facility engineering support and oversite to 16 commissary locations which I visit and inspect on a quarterly basis. My duties mainly consist of overseeing daily operations and maintenance at the stores in my region for the Whole Facilities Maintenance contract. I manage around $10M in facility maintenance, repairs and construction at these sites yearly. I am on call to provide 24/7 coverage for the sites in my region to include emergency response to natural disasters, electrical/refrigeration outages and plumbing/roof leaks.

As the Resident Regional Engineer at WRMC, I provided technical facility engineering support to 9 major Army hospitals and their surrounding clinics in a territory that spanned 20 states from Alaska to Missouri. My duties included construction project participation from planning, project estimating, budget acquisition, contractor source selection, and contractual management through project closeout. My role was to assure all project work was carried out by the contractor in accordance with the plans, specifications, and scopes of work. I periodically performed site visits to field locations to examine ongoing physical mechanical systems and building construction activities. During site visits, I also provided Quality Assurance (QA) oversight to assist field office QA personnel as needed, and assure that the contractor performed their Quality Control (QC) responsibilities as required by their contract. My expertise was also utilized to resolve unprecedented construction problems requiring professional engineering applications and knowledge. I helped develop and execute regional projects with the emphasis in sustainability and energy efficiency at many of the Region’s sites through their utility monitoring program (electricity, gas, steam, water, sewer & refuse). I developed and managed the first WRMC photovoltaic (PV) solar panel installation project at Runion Dental Clinic, Fort Huachuca, AZ. I also monitored all operations and maintenance (O&M) contracts at all the WRMC facilities to ensure facility maintenance and repairs were always covered. While at WRMC, I successfully completed the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training and used that knowledge to improve a few policies within the Region. I also filled in as the Facility Engineer at Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis when the position was vacant.

In this position, I managed capital improvement construction projects at state owned facilities occupied by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). One of my assigned facilities was Western State Hospital in Lakewood, WA which is the largest and oldest facility owned by the State of Washington. Due to the historical sensitivity of the campus, most construction projects involved coordinating with the Governor’s office of Indian Affairs, Tribal Nations, Washington State department of Archeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) and the Fort Steilacoom Historical Society. Another common issue regularly dealt with facilities of this age was hazardous material abatement such as asbestos, lead, mercury and PCBs. My duties included project planning, budget coordinating, plans and specifications review, advertise for bids, job walks, bid selections and conducting weekly site visit meetings with Staff and the Design Engineers/Architects. Weekly site visits were to ensure proper quality and quantity of materials and equipment, quality of workmanship and adequacy of contractor’s methods and operations were being met. In this position, I was also designated an Emergency First Responder and received training to evaluate buildings after earthquakes, wind storms and flooding. WA State Dept of General Administration, Engineering and Architecture (GA, E&AS) is now known as WA State Dept of Enterprise Services (DES).

Bremerton, Wa, Us

During my time at PSNS I worked in both the HVAC design and Nuclear Auxiliary Systems support fields. As a HVAC Field Support Engineer, I traveled to various parts of the globe to perform shipboard HVAC analysis and design. On return to my office, I would perform heat load calculations, duct and equipment sizing then draw demolition and new construction drawings in AutoCAD for the Shipyard Mechanics. As a Nuclear Engineer, my major focus was supporting shipboard work during major ship and submarine overhauls on nuclear instrumentation, valves and related piping. I received training and certification in Navy nuclear systems and propulsion. My duties were to prepare technical work instruction documents for the mechanics to work by. I would also troubleshoot shipboard deficiencies, prepare repair documents and procure new material for unforeseen necessary repairs. I received frequent on the job trainings learning to handle hazardous waste, nuclear waste and mixed wastes. I also participated in preparing piping freeze seal procedures and technical documents.

While employed at Richmond Systems, I mainly worked in the commercial HVAC design field. I would perform heat load calculations, duct and equipment sizing calculations, prepare project specifications, and draw demolition and new construction drawings in AutoCAD. I also performed meetings with clients, contractor job walks, project estimating, system trouble shooting and building commissioning. The other branches of the company gave me exposure to structural steel drafting and machine design systems and controls. I also got to participate in accident investigations related mechanical injuries/death related to insurance claims.
