Holley Navarre Water System, Inc. –
Navarre,
FL
Since 1995, I have overseen the operation and maintenance of the 2.99 million gallon per day waste water treatment plant. I currently supervise 6 full time operators, 1 part time maintenance helper and I am the supervisor of record for the instrumentation/chlorination department which is currently staffed by one person. My personnel management duties also include providing payroll information to HR weekly, establishing operational objectives and delegating assignments to my operators and completing performance reviews annually offering praise and recommendations for improvement.
I have acted as project manager on behalf of Holley Navarre Water for three multimillion dollar plant expansion projects. I am also responsible for the development of our current operations as well as maintenance record keeping program, some of which have been shared by the Department of Environmental Protection with other utility companies throughout the state.
In 2011 we brought an additional treatment facility on-line in Holley. The treatment capacity of this facility is small but the responsibility and reporting requirements are the same as the larger plant. My staff and I met this challenge with no additional man power.

Epic Municipal Infrastructure Training –
Toronto,
Ontario
This is an annual contract position that I do once per year. I began with the Ontario Good Roads Association in 2011 and when the training program transferred to Epic Municipal Infrastructure Training in 2012 they picked my services back up there.
I provide a week long training course to utility management personnel covering topics specifically outlined by the Province as well as common sense management practices. The final day of the course is usually a "round table" type discussion in which I learn as much as they do from different situations in utilities all over North America.

Vocational Education Teacher
07/1990
to 07/1991
Santa Rosa County School System –
Milton,
FL
I taught Auto Painting and Detailing at Milton High School. At the time, my college course work was leaning towards a career in education. I had extensive experience in the auto body field from working in my Dad's shop for most of my life so this was an excellent opportunity to get into the system.
This position was terminated because funding for many high school vocational programs was lost. The auto mechanic and auto body programs were closed at that time.
