PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS A DAY IN MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE
What I’ve Done and Do!
REAL ESTATE AND COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT
Real estate for sale and rent in the form of lots, and homes, and related assets that included a portfolio of rental homes I increased rental revenue 500% over previous years through marketing and initiated and oversaw maintenance and upkeep.​
LODGE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES
Management of large lodges/hotels and properties, including maintenance and improvement, risk and fire/guest safety management, and building projects. Seen here is Ticaboo Lodge during the ATV Rally at maximum occupancy.
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS. Power, IT, grids, water and waste water
​​I have a record of cutting costs through eliminating unnecessary costs, and lowering overall annual operating costs. I've accomplished this by being hands on intimately understanding tasks and equipment, being organized, and training staff to perform everyday functions of power generation in house.​When I do have to hire outside specialty contractors (such as electricians), I've always shadowed them (and had my staff do the same) to have them teach me what they are doing and gain expertise. It's a process of "you never stop learning". In remote operations the cost of contractors just traveling for routine maintenance can be astronomically high. In house programs negate those costs.​I not only understand power generators and their operation and maintenance needs, I also understand and have worked on power grids and distribution wiring and transformers.
