Immodestly, may I say that I have been called a "Renaissance Man" many times which denotes my ability to master many situations and positions. Serving as the President, Chairman, and/or board member of many organizations, and declining some, has provided vast experience. Serving as a Chief Officer for 17 years in a fire department, 12 years as the Fire Chief, has also provided a vast amount of experience.
I have also owned, managed, and operated my excavating company for 45 years which has entailed every aspect one can imagine in not only the actual earthwork, but the factors of finance, personnel, advertising, promo, marketing, weather planning & control, vehicle specs and their repair and maintenance, public safety, job safety, estimating, client & public relations, working with agencies such as the NYSDEC and area County Health Departments, Dutchess County DOT, NYSDOT, Rhinebeck, Red Hook Village & Town Water & Highway depts. and many other venues.
Snow and ice operations, equipment and management has also been part of my job as well including specifying,operating and maintaining the equipment.
Consulting on many venues has also been part of my career. As a Consultant, I could review your operations, equipment, and plans to help you make more money.
I have been a leader, innovator, and initiator in many organizations that has led to the organizations success and in some cases, resurrection of these groups. Working with elected officials of many different agencies from local to Washington, DC has also provided me with much insight.
Oil tank removal and remediation has also been a part of our work on many jobs. Along with this I also serve as a part time project manager and/or sales rep. for Enviro Clean Products & services, a major national spill prevention & remediation company with offices in Wappingers Falls, NY, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and the UK..
My wife and I previously owned a wine store which we sold. We tripled the sales in four years. We also presented seminars partnering with reps from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. I have served as a wine judge for many years and have worked part time for the leading NY State winery,
Dr. Frank, which is also one of the top four wineries in the U.S.
I am also a NY State DEC "TRAINED INDIVIDUAL" for Storm Water Runoff Control and a NY State Licensed Security Guard.
