About John

Hi,
I'm an active duty service member in the Coast Guard who is currently stationed in Juneau AK. I'm in the phase of transitioning out of the Coast Guard in search of a new career, and I will be relocating to the state of Georgia come this October 2018.

More about me:
By heart and by trade, I’m an electronics technician with 19 years of vast technical experience who is goal oriented and driven towards providing high quality work and solutions that are both cost-conscious and effective. With the years of technical experience, I have grown and have taken on multiple facets of responsibility and leadership and have taken on the role of systems maintenance supervisor—to which I have greatly enjoyed.

As a Leader, I’m an experienced electronics maintenance division supervisor with years of systematic leadership experience in the management of project planning, electronic systems maintenance and repairs, implementation of different reliability programs, quality management, risk analysis and risk mitigation, environmental health and safety, budget and spending, contracts with venders, and the management of people.

As a technician, I bring many years of vast experience performing the maintenance, repairs, and installs of various tower, shipboard, and shore electrical, electronic, and mechanical systems. Either as part of a team or independently, I have performed maintenance and installs of communications systems, microwave data transmission systems, navigational and surveillance systems, process control & automation systems, and power generation & storage systems. I’m a confident team player who performs well in challenging environments.

I also come with many soft skills that have been developed through many successes and many mistakes over the years. I have the profound belief that continued learning is essential for personal growth, and one should always commit to learning as a lifelong process.
