Project Manager Coral Springs FLCoral

SUMMARY

The bulk of my experience has been in managing projects and technical support operations. My extensive background in electronics, computer hardware and audio/video systems has been used to support my employers in terms of reputation and financial returns on projects that I have managed. I have held positions within companies that include Vice President of Operations of a Computer Service business and Chief Engineer of a Ku Band Satellite Distance Learning Network. I have a proven track record of bringing projects in under budget and ahead of schedule. One such project was the design, installation and operation of the distance learning network – TI-IN Network, based in San Antonio, Texas. I and my team started with an empty building and went to broadcast in 92 days with 5 studios, a/v editing facility, sound studio, and interactive communication with 2500 field downlink locations. I am currently supporting the trucking industry through merchandising, advertising and technical support to truck stops. I am willing to travel, as necessary.
