PROFILE

I currently have eighteen years of telecommunications experience. During my eighteen

years, I started out as a install technician, worked my way up to splicer and then cable

repair. I was picked for Verizon’s first FTTH project in 2000 as a lead technician and

worked my way up to Lead OSP foreman. After working the FTTH project, I was Lead

technician and foreman for the rebuild at the World Trade Center after the Sept.11 2000

attacks. I then relocated to Arizona where I was hired by Qwest/Centurylink. I was the

Lead technician for their xDSL projects. After taking a early retirement package, I was

hired by Vista Care Communications to work on a FTTH project for Google Fiber. I

started as the Lead fiber splicer and trainer and now moved to Project Manager.

EXPERIENCE

COMMUNICATIONS(GOOGLE FIBER)PROVO,UT 2014-PRESENT

As project manager I fully support the OSP technicians on the deployment of fiber drop

cables to the customers homes and small business. I am responsible for the

underground company placing and personal property replacement. I work crossfunctionally

with Google engineers and the local OSP company on proper construction

and material handling. Drawing and deploying fiber backbone to support the current

network in the Provo, UT area. Keeping upper management updated on project

progress and changes. Proper planing for existing and new home construction. My

production, schedule and budget are reported weekly and monthly to Vista Care and

Google. I also contact city and state planners for permits, problems, roadblocks that are

raised during the project. Coordinating with local Blue Stake for proper markings prior to

any groundwork being performed. Conducting meetings with my venders, employees,

and customers when needed. With prior experience as a field technician, I am able to

assist in fiber splicing and training new technicians if needed.

Lead Technician/Field Foreman, Qwest Centurylink, Florence, Az 2003-2013

When hired for Qwest, I was placed on a HICAP xDSL crew. I was quickly appointed as

a Lead Technician. I installed and repaired various xDSL circuits for residential and

business customers. I worked the North Scottsdale area and was Lead on the FTTH

project in DC Ranch. It is the only area in Arizona that currently has FTTH. I was

responsible for splicing the backbone fiber to the BNU’s to the drop cable to the homes.

I am trained on various finer and copper testing equipment and understand the cost to

that equipment.I would have weekly reports on finer loss and total amount of finer

placed and BNU turn-ups. I was also Lead on the Centurylink Prism project. I would

install VDSL2 circuits and gateways and monitor the circuits with wireshark software. I

was a field foreman the last six years I was there. That included finishing projects on

time with proper close outs and time reporting.
