SUMMARY
A seasoned Project Management Professional with more than 27 years of structured Project
Management experience working for top companies. My philosophy is based on the premise that for a
Project Manager to perform at his maximum value, he must be as good at getting tasks accomplished by
working with people as he is at working with processes.
Excellent planning and communication skills coupled with many years of knowledge gained from the
experience of managing large, complex projects reinforces a high level of confidence in my ability. The
projects under my direction have thoughtfully written project plans that include well defined requirements,
realistic schedules, clearly identified resources, and budgetary due diligence.
Core values consist of pride in professionalism, integrity, dependability, creative thinking, plus the ability
to work either as a team leader or in an individual contributor capacity.
