SUMMARY OF CAREER GOAL

I am a firm believer in the fact

that you should only try to master one

thing at a time and this is why I have

stuck to construction for twenty-two

years.

I have obtained my A.S., in

construction management from

Westwood College and I am already in

the mindset of researching avenues to

pursue Masters Programs.

Construction management is the

next level in my professional growth and

considering Masters Programs will solidify

the growth I hope to achieve. The

avenues I am currently considering

include, Urban Planning, Structural or Civil Engineering, Architectural Technology, and construction law.

Once I have achieved my Masters depending on where I am in my life I will most likely pursue a doctrine

in similar fields and eventually teach others.

My career goals as they stand for the present are to work in construction management and

utilize the classroom education in combination with the field experience to the benefit of a prospective

employer. I believe that I can be an asset to any company, not only because I am qualified but because I

am already primed in a global mindset which is the best direction for any organization. I am good with

people in that my people skills allow me to motivate crews to give their all throughout the duration of

the project. As a carpenter I am not afraid to get dirty so any perspective employer can rest assure that

the perspective manager will be in the hole making sure the project is safe, on time, and under budget.



Construction Carpenter Certificate from the Department of Labor

The greatest of my achievements to date is when I graduated from apprenticeship and

became a Journeyman Carpenter. It is sublime in a way that symbolizes the point where a boy

becomes a man and he is ready to make his mark on the world. The next step is to add the

Bachelors of Applied Science degree to the collection. This will signify the mark I hope to make

and establish its character.



Journeyman Certificate from the United Brotherhood of Carpenter & Joiners of America

The Journeyman Certificate shows my dedication and perseverance to endure the unknown

and achieve things unseen. It also shows the willingness to belong to something of a greater

magnitude as well as being a member of a team.



EDUCATIONAL STATEMENT

I started my approach to construction in high school at Hyde Park Career Academy in

woodshop. I basically built a scale model home by myself which was an early indication that

construction would be demanding. This did not deter me from pursuing a career as a carpenter.

I later attended the Job Corps program in Laona, Wisconsin where I would hone my skills

as a pre-apprentice carpenter. Being a part of an elite carpentry crew our group was allowed to

travel abroad and build ranger stations for the Nicolet Forest Reserves. I graduated there with

honors and went to college in an Advancement program in Clearfield, Utah where I studied

Architectural Technology.

I later returned to that same Job Corps program to become certified as an electrician.

Being an elite member I was allowed to work for a local contractor and experience the field

work while training. While there I became president of the Student Government Association

where we allocated certain funding to the benefit of the entire student body. I also while there

received awards for leader of the year and most improved leader of the year.

After attending multiple city colleges and not really knowing which direction I wanted to

pursue in academia I saw a Westwood College Advertisement. This organization appealed to my

desire to remain in the service industry by marketing their construction management program.

I was immediately onboard and as giddy as a child in a big box toy store.

As I prepare to close in on my graduation I am more informed about the directions my

career can take me to and I am grateful. Westwood is a learning experience unlike any other

than has truly prepared me for what may lie ahead in my academic and professional future.

Knowledge is power and with my Westwood degree I will be prepared to take on more

responsibility and be a more productive member of the construction community.



PROFESSIONAL WORK

PHOTOGRAPHS OF COMPLETED WORK

The University of Chicago's

Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine

The physical structure consists of six levels

above grade, a basement and a

mechanical penthouse totaling 515,000

square feet, with 200 feet of connecting

bridge to Mitchell Hospital and parking

garage. Leo A. Daly was the architectural

firm for this project and Turner

Construction assumed the position of

prime contractor. I actually worked for

two of the subcontractors namely Cassidy

bros Construction and Superl Insulators.



Comer II University of Chicago Children Emergency Intake

The University of Chicago’s Comer II project was an addition to the Comer Children’s Hospital.

This project was performed by Leopardo Construction for which I was a rough framing carpenter

executing layout and commercial metal stud framing.



South East 103rd Street Bridge

This bridge was completely reconstructed by IHC (Illinois Hydraulic Construction) where I was involved

in the shoring and framing of this orthotropic beam bridge which are modular shaped and resist stress in

multiple directions at once. They vary in

cross-section and may be open or closed

shapes. This particular one is open and it

was a magnificent experience to work on

infrastructure.



Salvation Army Community Center

This project is located on Chicago’s South Side at 69th and Sangamon Street. This project was performed

by Scwendener Construction for which I was a

Framing carpenter as well as a finish carpenter

performing layout and metal stud framing and

drywall installation.



Haven of Rest Assisted living Facility

This 9 story mini-rise was performed by Joseph J Duffy construction where I was involved in many of the

carpentry aspects of

its construction

including framing,

windows and doors,

backing, cabinets, and

architectural trim. I

enjoyed this project

as we also received an

award from the city of

Chicago for record

completion time.



Landmark (Woolworth) Restoration and addition

This metropolitan addition to the uptown area on

the north-side of Chicago was once a Woolworth

that was deemed a landmark and reconstructed by

Leopardo Construction. I was performing lead

layout and framing for the borders addition where I

and an apprentice carpenter basically laid out and

framed the entire Borders structure.



CVS Pharmacy

This CVS pharmacy is located on 87th and Stony Island and was performed by G.M. Harston General

Contractor. I was the lead carpenter on this

project and performed the entire layout for

exterior and interior wall structures and

organized a total of 12 carpenters’ total. I also

performed the structural welding for the

parapet as per specifications on the plans.



Jackson Park Hospital Assisted living facility

This project was performed by Naranjo Construction where I was a Lead layout carpenter performing

commercial metal framing. I was involved

in the installation of the metal trusses as

well as the interior and exterior metal

framing. I also worked on the installation

of the windows and doors.



Oak Park South Boulevard Garage (Downtown)

This project was performed by

Scwendener Construction where I was

performing rough framing for heavy

concrete forming construction.



Move of God Church of GOD in Christ (non-denominational)

This project is located on 78th and Cottage Grove Ave and was once a McDonalds now converted in to a

place of worship. I was actually a sub-contractor on this job working under a DBA with the

responsibilities of layout and framing, doors and windows, and interior finishes.



Catalpa Gardens

This project was performed by International

constructors where I was a lead layout

carpenter as well as a rough framer. My team

installed all the windows and doors as well as

built the entire framed interior and exterior

structure for this massive Edgewater

condominium project.



1500 SF Basement Renovation

This was a self-performed project for a home owner in Matteson, IL that came to me and asked me to

design their basement. So I drafted the exterior outline of the basement and designed and installed the

wall layout, the additional load factors on the existing load center as well as the lighting arrangement. I

also contributed to the finishes from paint colors to the tile on the floor. This project is what motivated

me to take construction management because everything from the planning to the execution to the

delivery came so natural.
