To obtain a management position with a company where the mission is clear, a dynamic yet disciplined environment exists, and there is an opportunity to make a measurable contribution and grow with the company. Please review my community involvement on the second page. I am very knowledgable with construction methodology and procedures and am well versed in the political and governmental processes. While I was an elected official in the Dallas suburb, Carrolton, TX, I was the liaison for RHD hospital in north Dallas. I also was involved in a large expansion of the Trinity Medical Hospital in Carrollton, TX and renovated the interior of an eight story office building. Other capabilities include zoning in which I have presented over 100 cases.
