Experience:
April 2008 - September 2010               Manweiler Telecom Consulting                     Denver CO.
Design engineer/Construction Management
Performed construction management inspection of construction crews building a 100 mile, 10g fiber optic network to 66 schools in the Boulder Valley School District. Achievements include the design of a 12 mile cross- country aerial leg from Boulder, CO. to Nederland CO., attaching a 288 fiber cable to an existing Excel steel pole line, saving the client $60,00.00+. Designed alternate routes for unanticipated hazards on the fly, as needed to maintain costs and remain sensitive to environmental concerns. The BVSD project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.

Performed feasibility studies for Fiber networks for the Cherry Creek CO. School District, Roswell, NM. School District, Floydada TX School District, and  the Farmington MO. School District.

 

May 2006 - April 2008        Power Engineers                    Lakewood, CO.
Design Engineer/Field Engineer

Colorado Springs School District Design, Construction Management Fiber Optic Network
66 schools connected on diverse network on leased fiber backbone from public utility. Designed all OSP and ISP routes and infrastructure, obtained all permits, RR crossing permits, field notes, CAD design, primary point of contact for customer, internal crews, city governments, CSU Utilities Communications crew, subcontractors.

POWER Engineers studied the feasibility of alternate data network solutions for the implementation of a fiber optic network capable of connecting 66 schools in the district. The study determined the base-line cost to implement and maintain the network, provided recommendations on the processes and best practices to achieve the goal of implementation and operation, and forecasted the long-term savings of the new fiber optic network. This was achieved by assessing the available carriers in the area, identifying alternative routes from the school locations to the carrier backbones, and determining the costs associated with broadband services for each carrier. These connections provide the district with a reliable, dedicated high capacity connection to all of their facilities while leveraging existing, city-owned backbone infrastructure.

The network provides enhanced educational services and equal educational access to district students. Advanced services enabled by the network include distance learning, video conferencing, high-speed internet access, telephone voice services, and data services.

·                  OSP engineering and design

·                  Right of way and permitting

·                  Construction management
