To Whom It May Concern:

I retired from Florida Power & Light with 29 years in the power generation division. I have 31 years of experience performing maintenance and giving technical direction on power plant equipment. This includes steam turbines, generators, valves, servos and support equipment on GE, ALSTOM and Westinghouse units. I’ve also got experience working on nuclear units at Port Saint Lucy and Turkey Point plants in Florida.

I have extensive experience on boilers: air heaters, boiler feed pumps, hydraulic couplings, FD and ID fans, heater drain pumps, pump alignment, Steam tube boilers welding..
I started with FP&L as a millwright. I held positions as a nuclear millwright, certified welder (heavy wall), apprentice instructor, turbine foreman, turbine supervisor, turbine superintendent/TFA and retired as a turbine outage manager

I hope to have the opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you personally. Thank you for your consideration of my resume.
