net Experience: Mechanical HVAC Design CAD Operator-Draftsman (All Disciplines) Professional Experience: Landmark Facilities Group, Norwalk, CT 1998 a" November 2010 Mechanical Designer/CAD Operator for HVAC Climate Control Systems: Utilize Autocad 2010 for supply and return duct work from air handling units to all rooms, offices etc. for the cooling, heating and humidity climate control of buildings, museums, and schools. Also we designed Geothermal Exchange work. Coordinate jobs with Architects, & other Engineers. Extensive engineering field work is often required. Check field work. Mech. Engineers often sized piping. I would design Ductwork layout from Cooling & Heating loads using Carrier progra ms under the supervision of the Project Mechanical Engineer who would handle the Cooling and Heating load projects and would then pick out air handling units an d all equipment. I would depict the supply and return ductwork & piping to equip ment on the plans, elevations and section views. Outside air included. Ductwork support was also depicted with much vibration isolators. Check and mark up shop drawings, after issue. Indicate Field work descripences. Details, schedules and specifications were also drawn, checked and included. Work under Senior Mechanical Engineer supervision. Engineer would check. Handle all Autocad drafting and layout design with all engineers involved. In some cases, (other than Mech. and HVAC), I did Cad drafting for piping, sprin kler, plumbing, controls and electrical are from from engineering mark ups. Peabody Engineering Corporation, Stamford, CT 1994-1998 Mechanical Designer/CAD Operator Designed Windbox Boiler piping, aAPRa & aDFLa Burners, Ignitors with internal pa rts, Windbox fabrication, rack piping, and ductwork. Piping Systems for Steam, Oil, Air, and Gas; with Bill of Materials. Plans and Elevations drawn on Autoca d. Electrical One-Line Diagram Drawings and P.& I.Das as needed. Completed again (for Peabody) another ISO 9000 accreditation. Design and constru ct to high tolerances, sometimes in metric. All work size had to fit on the back of a flat bed truck on skids, so size in the design was very critical. A windbox is a high tech. form of air bellows with linkage to boiler for optiona l use of fuels (oil or gas) with Maxon control valves-all on skids. ABB Environmental Systems, ASEA Brown Boveri, Piping Designer/CAD Operator/Draftsman Norwalk, CT 1992-1994

Piping Designer/CAD Operator for Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization Absorber System fo r Fossil Fuel Power plant (Scrubber). Design and layout for Pennsylvania Electr ic, of various piping systems for the plant: reagent classifier feed, cooling w ater system, ash pond water system, instrument air and all return sumps. Coordi nation of material take off and checking of systems. Utilized the CAD System (C ADAM) & AUTOCAD) to fabricate 3-D piping, mechanical equipment, and architectura l. general arrangements. Plotting designs as plan views, elevations, sections, and isometrics. Completion of ISO 9000 accreditation.

Design and drafting piping, HVAC, architectural, electrical, and field coordinat ion needed for background plan and elevation drawings. Completion of system layouts and drawings for piping, architectural and HVAC equ ipment, and supply and return ductwork for mechanical equipment rooms in commerc ial and residential buildings, including all connecting piping (chilled water, s team, and condensate), and coordination of electrical circuits to equipment. Completion of riser diagrams for electrical power distribution, piping, and spri nkler layout in fire protection systems, as well as aas builta drawings and revi sions to existing systems. Design work with mechanical and electrical engineers supplying pipe sizes, air f low CFM, and equipment specifications. Manager of Drafting Department of 8 people. Set up of our "NFPA" National Fire Protection Association Library for the company's Sprinkler department, plus upd ates. Supervised and trained draftsmen. A lot of field work at Rockefeller Center, Woo lworth Building, Morgan Library & 866 U.N. Plaza. John Brown Engineering and Construction, Inc., Stamford, CT 1973-1978 and 1980 to 1983 (Note: A British company named John Brown Engineering bought Crawford a nd Russell Engineers & Construction when I was working for "UOP Universil Oil Pr oducts"),in Norwalk, CT. drawing "Scrubbers & Bag Filters. (Formerly a" Crawford & Russell) (I worked here at Crawford & Russell Eng./John Brown Eng. twice. They called me back a few years later to see if I was interest ed in coming back and I was, so I returned. John Brown Eng. Designed & Construc ted Process Plants. (G.E.,Olin & Phillips Petroleum was Browns largest clients) The 2 years I was gone, I worked at "UOP Universil Oil Products", doing piping similarly drawn as John Brown Eng. At "UOP" (office in Norwalk, CT) we design ed Desulfurization Absorbers (Scrubbers) for clients and Bag Filters. (TVA was o ur main client) At John Brown Engineering we designed & constructed Process Plan ts. I was a Piping Designer and Draftsman a" working under a Mechanical & Chemical E ngineer. Layout and design of piping systems to and from equipment (pumps, tanks, reactor s, etc.) using schematic process flow diagrams (as a map), in conjunction with s tructural steel, concrete, electrical, architectural, mechanical, and HVAC drawi ngs. At John Brown Eng. most of our drawings were constructing process plants (v arious types of plastics for G.E.,Olin, Borden Chemical & Phillips Petro)to name a few. Drawing piping designs on plan views, elevations, and isometric drawings. Worked with piping materials, such as carbon and stainless steel, copper, galvan ized carbon steel, polypropylene lined C.S., victualic, glass, and rubber lined C.S., FRP plastic and cast iron. Every job we were issued it's specifications. Extensive process piping field work for both companies. Both "John Brown Enginee ring" and "UOP" added new equipment, piping & ductwork which a General Arrangem ent Plan would have to be generated first,at both companies, which all other dis ciplines would work from as a starting point. As job progressed we added a mater ial take-off on the top of each isometric drawing. Engineers checked work. Needed for all Mechanical. Equip. plans, elevations, isometrics & M.E.P. site. Often revised existing work, when there was a job expansion-labeling new work from existing work. Revised schedule drawings to reflect changes. Education: 1.Norwalk Community College, Norwalk, CT a" 2 year Course work in Autocad Archi tectural Drafting and Mechanical Drafting 1990-1991 Material take-off included. Currently 2011 taking a Autocad 3 month course on Revit 2011, Monday nights from 6 to 10 pm.

2.Warren Technical Institute, Bridgeport, CT (school closed in approx 1980's) 2 year course, 1972-1973, 1 year Mechanical tools & gears, 1 year Architectural an d Site Plan. (house & site) In this area a new school took aWarrensa void called aPorter and Chestera, in Stratford, CT
