Work Experience;

March 2011 to May 2013, TESINC LLC Tampa Fl.

From March 2011 to June 2011, TESINC sent me to Louisville Ky. To work on a short term project for AT&T, my job was to field verify, measure, and draw the path to many different Cell sites in and around the Louisville KY area. My duties included pole inspection, down guy sizing, and pull angles.  After completing the AT&T project I returned to the Tampa office where I worked primarily on the, Windstream project. The scope of this project was to drop a fiber feed DLC in at a designated location and then tie it into the existing copper cables and to create new boundaries and service areas for each new DLC. This required me to reverse feed some cable and to determine the splicing needed to throw a new Cross Box into various locations.

I also worked on the Crown Castle (Metro PCS) project where my job was to field, draw, and to obtain all information need to obtain the permits needed to place the conduit and Hand holes to be used to pull a fiber optic cable from the particular cell site out to a pre designated location where a pole would be placed for the Antennas being used to boost cellular signal for the 4G network.

I was responsible for finding good locations for Hand holes and to establish a good running line.

While working at Meacham I went to a splicing school at ACS where I learned how to put telephone wires together after learning the Telephone work I tried to make a switch but work was not easy to find so I kept two trucks ready to go to which every job had the work. Meacham was good to me in that they let me come and go as I need. So when there was Telephone work available I worked Telephone.

Summary of Telecommunications work.

             

I have been in this business since 1989,

I started out as a Splicer, worked for 2 companies Associated Communications and Burnup & Sims.

I have an A.S. Degree in Architectural Design & Construction Tech. which has given me an advantage in new construction.

My Engineering experience started long before I ever work in the Engineering field, I have always been innovative in my work.

Finding faster, easier, and better ways of doing things is my forte. Growing up my friends use to call me Marty Macgyver after the TV show Macgyver, because like the character in the show I can almost always find a way make something from available materials.

Now days it’s called thinking outside the box. An example of this is; When I worked in Ceiling construction I use to make a small clip that hooked to the ceiling grid that I could tie a string to and without having to get a ladder I could pull it down, it was so easy to make it wasn’t worth getting a patent. However it was used widely in the field and was known as a Marty clip. I know this because years later I heard someone whom did not know me refer to it as a Marty Clip, I just chuckled.

I realized my Telecommunications Engineering ability when I was a splicer and my coworkers use to tell me I was in the wrong job.

So I sought out TESINC, I made a deal with them and so they gave me the training I needed and the opportunity.

I started out doing String design for Americast (GTE’s CABLE TV) in Clearwater.

After that I was blessed with the best opportunity anyone could ask for, Russell Nole my Engineering Supervisor at Tesinc put me in contact with Steve Bell from the Sarasota GTE office. Steve had told Russell he had the perfect job for a young up and coming engineer.  Lakewood Ranch was breaking ground and Steve was going to let me have it all to myself. Tesinc at the same time told me I would also have to do the drafting.  That’s how I broke into Engineering and to this day I don’t know anyone who Engineered, posted into records and cut their own work prints, with the exception of work order package I did pretty much a turnkey job.

Lakewood Ranch had a brand new RSU, with Manhole # 1 in place and that was it. I had the privilege of designing conduit and Manholes throughout the first few phases of Lakewood Ranch which included shopping centers, Schools and Subdivisions.

I placed Cross Connects and Terminals. In the beginning I even had to draw a temporary Land base file because GTE was back logged and could not keep up with the demand.

After that I went on-prim in Lakeland where I learn all about keeping up with service orders, new development I learned all about reading dodge reports and irate customers. In short I loved my job, the challenges were there every day and the irate customer’s, well I learned how to calm them down and assure them I would take care of the problem.

From Lakeland I went to Texas then Clearwater and then back to Lakeland, it was my 5^th on prim position by this time and I was very confident in my abilities, it was there that My Section Manager Gary Carter gave me, at my request, some of the hottest, busiest C.O. to maintain.  I had 5 C.O.s to maintain, but it was Haines City North that kept me hopping. It was the beginning of a construction boom along Hwy 27 from I-4 to Hwy 92, I mention this because it was the reason behind some of my other innovative ideas that took off and were used companywide by GTE.

At that time technology was changing every day and to me it was silly that we were still using old forms to put together our work order packages. Excel was just getting popular, although I didn’t know how to build forms, I knew someone who did. Julie was her name, I handed her a stack of forms and asked her if she could make them in Excel. She took it to the next level and created a the “Work Order Package”,  after her and I got it to the point we could not make it any better, I presented it to Gary Carter. He liked it and gave me permission to use it; it wasn’t long before all the engineers in Lakeland were using it. Gary must have shared it with the other Section Managers because it went company wide.

Another Innovation I had that went companywide at GTE was the way we put subdivisions into land base. I had so much work going on I had to constantly push the land base people to expedite my jobs into land base. At that time it was the slow process of digitizing and you just had to wait. What gave me the idea was I received several subdivisions on a disk and since I had friends that worked in the Land Base department I started questioning them on why we couldn’t just copy the developers plans straight into the land base file. I put Jason (from Land base) in contact with one of the developers drafting departments and so between the 2 of them they figured it out. After that I never had a problem getting my jobs into land base. Jason always put me to the front of the line and I was able to stay one step ahead.

Another innovation I had that never seem to take off was the way I got my addresses, although it worked for me other engineers never seem to want to take the time.  Since most of my work was in the Haines City area it was easy, 911 addresses were and are still are pain to get. But I found a way around it that 99% of the time worked which was better than having 0 addresses, if I had to fix a few address it was no big deal, this was before FIOS. I found out through the 911 addressing people that it was the Post Master General who assigned the address to subdivisions. So I went straight to him and explained to him my problem, turned out that part of the problem with addresses was because the Post Master wasn’t getting the Plats till the last minute. So he I kept in close contact when I received a new subdivision I automatically made him a copy and dropped them off. I never had to wait on addresses again; in fact I got a call from GTE addressing asking me how I was getting address before they were.

Point is I am an innovative type personality I don’t except “it can’t be done” Anything possible if you put your mind to it and think outside the box.
