The general construction and maintenance of power plants have been my work passion for the past 20 years. However, I enjoy other parts of the job, such as sales and assisting customers. I excel when I can take the sales leadership role in a project, from conception to execution, guiding and assisting the customers throughout the process. Regardless of the scale, either from an annual inspection or complex lifetime extension project.
