Experience:

I have 32+ years of heavy industrial piping background. For the past 18+ years I’ve been employed full time as a Senior Piping/Mechanical Designer doing Project Engineering Design/Drafting. During the 14 years prior, I installed many miles of piping while on the construction side of the business. While on the engineering side I’ve held positions such as - Piping Discipline Group Lead, Project Design Lead, Piping/Mechanical Project Lead, Checker, Senior Piping Designer and & Drafter. While on the construction side I have held positions such as - Piping General Foreman, Piping Supervisor, Planner, Estimator, Fabricator and Pipefitter. In the late 1970’s I took a short break from the construction trade and also gained 2 years experience as a Process Unit Operator. Virtually all of my professional experience has been within oil refining and petrochemical industries.
