Owner of a contracting, consulting, and engineering design-build company. Contracted and built wine caves and civil works projects.
Projects included work for the Stanford Linear Accelerator, Cal-Trans bridge piers, and hydro re-fits for dams. Most of the
structural supports and permanent installations for mechanical and electrical facilities were designed and engineered by our own people.
Provided estimating, management, and equipment for one contractor as a VP of Operations on an irrigation  project for the Modesto
Irrigation District and two dam contracts for the Bureau of Reclamation in Utah.
Contracted as a Project Manager with crews for another contractor on two wastewater projects. These projects included extensive concrete structure work,
mechanical and electrical installations as well as shoring using soldier piles and lagging and internally braced sheet pile cofferdams.
Also contracted as a Superintendent and Project Manager for various contractors on other projects including a hydro re-fit of an existing
concrete dam, soft ground tunnels using a Lovat TBM, shields, hard rock tunnels using explosives and roadheader methods, open cut excavations,
raise drilling, shoring, dewatering, and concrete structures.

| Various Contractors and Engineering Companies | June 1961 - June 1968 | |
Worked for several contractors and one engineering company in order to broaden knowledge of the industry before taking a permanent
position. These included the San Francisco subway system and nine other jobs to gain experience with differing geologic
conditions as a laborer, foreman, and engineer including a number of difficult tunnels in the Coast Ranges of
 California that
required various methods to handle hazardous and gassy conditions. These projects included a diversion tunnel for
Briones Dam, three projects on the San Francisco Rapid Transit system, an irrigation tunnel in New Mexico, diversion tunnel for
Castaic Dam, water tunnels for the LA Metropolitan Water District at Glendora and San Gabriel in Southern California, California
Department of Water Resources tunnels at Angeles, San Bernardino, and Castaic.
Associated with these projects were a number of shafts and the usual outside excavation and concrete structure works. Worked for an engineering company for two years primarily
on design, consulting, claims, and estimating costs.
