Focused on helping find solutions for transmission, power distribution, and metering to meet current and future needs. Work as an agent for GE Grid Solutions, Eaton's Cooper Power Systems, Sabre-FWT, Tantalus, VON, and PTI Transformers. Additionally, work with Itron, Qinetiq and various other manufacturers as a distributor. Along with working with these manufacturers, I provide a wide breadth of knowledge and support for specifying, installing, and troubleshooting.

Working in different backgrounds of the consulting industry, which includes building systems, commissioning, and utility projects. Building systems projects include occupancy sensor studies, lighting analysis studies, construction design for higher education new and existing buildings, arc flash and short circuit studies, and construction administration. Building systems work includes use of AutoCAD, Revit, SKM Power Tools, and AGi32 to model, analyze and develop system designs. Commissioning projects include the electrical systems for tier 3 hospital facility data centers, lighting and fire alarm system for a higher education lab, and lighting, power and fire alarm systems for a hospital. Commissioning work includes pre-functional and functional performance test writing, witness tests for generator and power systems equipment, and shop drawing reviews. Utility projects focus on protective relaying panel replacement.

A major portion of my work was on a Government facility project creating one-line diagrams and running arc flash studies using SKM Power Tools. Also, I worked on a private college project that involved replacing the entire medium voltage system and oversaw the testing of equipment. Lastly, I was largely involved in a project for a major aluminum & magnesium foundry, in which the electrical system was assessed and recommendations were made that would result in excess of 2 GWh and $200,000 dollars in savings per year.

Worked primarily with AutoCAD 2007 and Pro-E to develop schematics and panel layouts for pharmaceutical and medical packaging automation lines. I also created detailed users manuals, which included product flow diagrams, machine movement diagrams, and maintenance steps.
