ABOUT ME

Located in Palm Bay, Florida, I've been scheduling various sizes of projects in a variety of industries for over 23 years.  Having seen the problems that arise from inadequate communication between contractors and their subcontractors, it has been my passion to bridge the communication gap with intuitive tools that fully support the needs of project managers.  

Starting out my career with a small land developer out of Mapleton, Utah, I took on several roles to help meet daily objectives for the goals of the Harvest Park subdivision.  From scheduler, to bookkeeper, to draftsman, to SharePoint developer and administrator, to graphic designer and 3d renderer, to project manager, to landscaping subcontractor, to community event center director, I held several roles simultaneously, as needed.  Investing all my efforts in this venture as the housing market collapsed in 2008 introduced challenges that stretched my capabilities and led me to take additional roles as an assistant network implementation engineer at Qwest Communications, and a contracting specialist with EarthWay Cleaning Services and JaniKing.  

In early 2016, I relocated with my wife and 5 children to El Paso, Texas, where I worked as an Initial Outfitting and Transition scheduler for the William Beaumont Army Medical Center replacement project for Gilbane TPM.  As I received construction schedules to integrate into the master schedule, I analyzed and identified patterns of manipulation coming from the construction contractor's schedule, and projected these trends to predict the delayed completion of the project.  This prediction was regularly analyzed by leadership, and held true, as it turned out to be an accurate prediction which amounted to significant cost overruns.

In 2019, I began remote work as a master scheduler for Strategic Medical Equipment Solutions (SMEs), providing all contractual scheduling deliverables for all of their projects and relocated to Palm Bay, Florida.  I also provided SharePoint development and administrator services for their SharePoint site and subsequently was contracted out by SMEs to Customer Value Partners (CVP) to provide SharePoint development and administrative support for the National Artificial Intelligence Institute at Veteran Affairs' AI@VA SharePoint site.  While there, I began developing applications using the Microsoft Power Suite (Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI).  I developed templates and dashboards for the general management system using ServiceNow.

Currently, I continue to work for Customer Value Partners as a contractor to develop applications to automate processes for the USDA, working with the Office of the Chief Information Officer for the Cybersecurity and Privacy Operations Center on privacy governance-specific projects.
