                                                                                WORK HISTORY

 

I am an OSP Network Engineer with over 20 years of experience in Planning, Designing & Drafting new construction projects for Telephone & CATV companies. I have worked on Verizon’s FiOS Fiber Network planning and designing fiber routes from the Central Office and plant extensions for MDU/MTU customers. I have planned and designed Franchise Upgrades of Fiber/Coax Networks and plant extensions for several CATV companies.

As my work history shows, moving for a job is not an issue for me. It seems to be a requirement to keep working on new construction projects. When a project ends in one region the next project is usually in another part of the country. I am prepared to move to a new location on short notice.

 

10/14 thru Present - CHC Consulting

Lead Engineer - New OSP Network Planner, Designer and CAD Drafter

 

I am the lead engineer in the Austin. I am engineering new service for MDU/MTU properties and new property developments in the planning stage or presently under construction. My duties have also included, Quality Assurance reviews of other engineering companies doing preliminary engineering and as built design.

 

03/13 thru 09/14 - Hylan Datacom & Electrical

New OSP Network Planner, Designer and CAD Drafter

 

Hylan is an Engineering & Construction Company in New York City working on a Commercial Fiber Network Expansion for Time Warner Cable. I worked with the Survey Department and the Engineering Department to complete plans for a new Commercial Fiber Network in Manhattan and BAU Commercial Fiber and Coax work orders for all of NYC and parts of Bergen County New Jersey. I still hold an active ADM Card in IBEW, Local No. 3, New York City.

 

10/11 thru 09/12 - Impact Solutions Consulting  

New OSP Network Planner, Designer and CAD Drafter

 

I worked as an Off Premise Verizon FiOS Engineer for Commercial & Residential Multi-Unit buildings. My duties included a survey of the property to determine if there was available space for new equipment at the existing point of entry for a building and a viable path to the customer. If required to serve a customer, I mapped a path from an existing cable tie point, showing new pole placement, street cuts and all other construction requirements for the placement of a new cable. For aerial cable I mapped a route showing existing poles, cables, equipment, guying and anchoring required for wind/snow loading on the path. For an underground cable I mapped the location and size of cables, conduits, pedestals, pull boxes and manholes.

 

After the field work was completed I engineered and drafted a preliminary design and created a bill of materials for the job. If the job met the price point, approval was given for me to proceed with engineering and preliminary drafting of the work order that included City Permit and Traffic Control drawings if required. I work with the Verizon and City Inspectors, Construction Crews and Property Owners to ensure the work was completed in a timely manner.

 

04/2011 thru 10/2011 - Findley Engineering

New OSP Network Planner, Designer and CAD Drafter

 

I worked on a RUS project for Ballard Telephone Corporation in West Kentucky. Primary duties were field work for FTTH and drafting as-built. The field work consisted of staking a path for new direct burry fiber cable, pull-boxes for slice points and service drops.

 

Ballard used a program called MAPCOM M4 Solutions for FTTH design and AutoCAD 2006 for drafting. My primary duty was to develop new drafting standards and symbols for drafting the fiber schematics of as-built fiber. None existed when I arrived.

 

10/2008- 04/2011 - Welsco Inc., Paragould, AR (now Infotech)

New OSP Network Planner, Designer and CAD Drafter

 

I worked as an Off Premise Verizon FiOS Engineer for Commercial & Residential Multi-Unit buildings. My duties were the same as described in my work for Impact Solutions Consulting. My duties also included planning new HUB sites, HUB boundaries and design of F1 & F2 routes. I also worked on out of franchise work orders planning fiber rotes and engineering for Cell Towers and Greenfield MDU’s (new construction) in Santa Monica and Los Angeles. I designed and drafted a preliminary design in AutoCAD and sent it to Welsco where it was posted on the Verizon maps.

 

 

1999-2008 - Arbor Eden Inc. Kent, WA

New OSP Network Planner, Designer and CAD Drafter

 

In 1999 I started a company, Arbor Eden Inc. and began working for Telco and CATV companies. Broadband clients included Time Warner Communications, Comcast Communications, Charter Communications and The Click Network. I have Designed (fiber & coax) and CAD Drafted for; Comcast, Concord, CA, City of Tacoma Click Network, WA, Cable Contractors Inc., Iron Mountain MI, Aspen International Salem, OR. I worked on Verizon FiOS planning, designing and drafting Fiber Routes and Hubs for The J&L Group, Islandia NY and Expertech American Div, Barrie, Ontario Canada,

 

In 2006 to 2008 I worked for Solcom a contractor working for Comcast in the Concord CA region. I was assigned to field new acquisitions and existing plant. I then designed and drafted network upgrades from the field surveys. This included planning Node sites, Node boundaries, Powering and Fiber Backbone. I also designed and drafted BAU work orders for plant extensions and revisions as well as drafting updates for fiber splice schematics and fiber route drawings.

 

In 2003 to 2006 Expertech and The J&L Group employed me to do field surveys and make ready for new fiber placement for FiOS. I planned and design fiber routes for Verizon’s FiOS build in Long Beach and Levittown on Long Island NY. This included planning new fiber routes F1 & F2 (feeder & distribution). I planned, designed and drafted new HUB sites, HUB boundaries and fiber to the customer. I drafted base maps of existing plant as shown in the field survey. This included a make ready survey that showed guying and anchoring and documenting the height of cable attachments at the pole for clearance violations and for wind/snow loading.

 

In 2005 I worked in Kingston Jamaica, for a Canadian company that was contracted to build a national CATV service. It was a short term contract working for a friend, Shawn Ronich from Washington State. The Jamaican company has changed names and I believe it is now called FLOW. I set up the drafting & design specifications for the design program LODE DATA. I did preliminary network planning and wrote preliminary construction cost estimates and build schedules.

 

1993-1998 – Aspen International, Salem OR

OSP Network Designer and CAD Drafter

 

I started as a CAD Drafter and created base maps for field engineering. I was promoted from drafter to designer and designed new CATV networks and powering schematics. I planned and designed Fiber Loops from the Head End to the CATV Nodes. I was also in charge of a MDU field survey group that mapped multi-unit residential and commercial properties for a part of a franchise upgrade. The system had 1,500 miles of plant and included Army and Navy bases in the Puget Sound region of Washington State.

 

While working for Aspen I drafted and designed over 10,000 miles of new plant, and provided a bill of materials and all the other related documents for these projects.
