QUALIFICATIONS:

I am proficient in pre and post sales engineering and project management. My strengths are in engineering, specification and design of large projects, then managing the projects through pre and post sales. I excel at technical sales and installation support and management.

I am involved with many aspects of the telecommunications industry: Primarily Sales Engineering. In this role I assist sales with technical aspects of products in presentations to customers. I do the design of the solution, estimating equipment and labor, specification of hardware and resources. When the project is sold, I organize the resources and manage the projects to completion. My primary customers at CenturyLink/Qwest were very large global sized accounts. The projects I worked on were from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars.

Prior to this I was a communications technician that specialized primarily in PBX installations and maintenance, and High-Speed Data Applications. I have established and maintained a positive working relationship with numerous large accounts within the QWEST/CenturyLink customer base.
