SUMMARY/OBJECTIVE
With over 20 years of practical experience and advanced training in Environmental, Safety and Health (EHS) issues from the United States Air Force I have a lot to offer. I have experience in EHS, Industrial Hygiene, Radiation Health Physics, Life Safety Code, Construction Safety, and Management experience. I have experience in construction safety and environmental protection on projects spanning the globe. I am well versed in Microsoft Office, written communications, presentation techniques to all sorts of audiences and project management. Being military trained also means I work equally well in groups, on teams or independently as the job requires. All I ask is the opportunity to discuss in more detail with you to determine if I am indeed the perfect fit for your needs.
