I am a journeyman with 20 years of experience in the electrical trade. I have an "MBA", with a concentration in Project Management, and a Bachelor of Science in the discipline of "Industrial Engineering" with an emphasis on Logistics. I am looking for opportunities to expand my professional experience, with increasing responsibilities, that consist of roles in project management and business administration within the electrical field, or performing facilities environmental planning. I also have an interest in computer programming for which I would like to extend into a professional field of activity.

Interests

After work hours, I enjoy being outdoors as long as daylight hours permit. During the warmer months of the year I take advantage of the daylight to ride my bicycle as far as the afternoon to evening hours permit before the nighttime besieges the day and I am forced back indoors to wind down in preparation for the next work day. I also enjoy walking as an alternative activity when the monotony of riding finds me wanting a replacement activity to traverse around town. I also enjoy roller-blade skating though benign parking lots and recreational park walkways.

When cold and wet weather forces me indoors, I spend a large amount of my free time studying computing languages, such as Python and Ruby, as well as web development technology involving HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I also enjoy MMORPG games, such as Runescape, to create my own adventure around a graphical user interface environment.
