my story

I am a Business Engineer, an Aviator, a Change Leader and a Netweaver. I fly airplanes, I favor change, breaking barriers, connecting people and ideas.

I enjoy Asset Operations Management with focus on facilities- Commercial, Industrial & Residential- as well very special projects. I am the linchpin that connects together all the key elements, to keep systems running at a rather high reliability. If you can think of any system in a Building or Real Asset- HVAC/R, Power and Safety/Security systems, Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO), non-Critical or Critical- you can find my hand-print. 

I fly skydivers when the weather permits. On any beautiful day, I'd rather be teaching flying. I love just about any aspect of Aviation and teaching subjects that relate to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. I care deeply about career & professional development. I like to connect people together and serve others.

I will consider possibilities in Technical Consulting Services & Team Lead Operations to Plan for, Organizing, Installation/Maintenance, Start Up, Commissioning, Turnover and Warranty of special Engineering projects and of course, teaching flying and Aviation adventures. If you think or feel I may be able to help you in any way, please leave me your email and name on this page. Our paths may cross soon.

Facilities Engineer

QuVa Pharma is an emerging Leader in the 503B Sterile Compounding Outsourcing Pharmacy industry for pain management in Emergency and Operating Room procedures. Working for a startup has its own level of challenges. I obsess with the maintenance & management of all facility related systems, most of which are critical systems running 24/7/365. System reliability is 99.97% the last 32 months straight. We utilize a Building Management System for support as well as for two other sites.  I operate within legal and regulatory compliance. I am always around and about, chatting with almost everybody. I am always looking for opportunities to make someone’s day brighter or better. 

We operate Clean Room Environments in ISO 5, 7 and 8 under 21CFRs and current GMPs. My scope of work may be boring to list here, I prefer not to wear my title, but I can chat about it with just about anyone. Just ask.
