I am a professional with extensive achievements in facilities design, construction and operations management, my track record includes creative and operational contributions on four continents.

Designing new and renovated large scale facilities has afforded me the opportunity for planning, scheduling, site logistics and negotiating with construction trades. I have been published in trade magazines and served as an industry expert on a variety of convention and educational panels.

My core strengths include creating innovative facility improvement ideas to enhance user experience; developing and delivering presentations; planning and design; and budgeting and value engineering. I have managed budgets to $3M and staff size of six. I am conversant in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

I have a MA from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a BA from CUNY Queens College in New York. I am involved in many professional associations in the fields of theater and the performing arts. I have led seminars on the process of design for performance facilities at many conventions and trade shows.

I am interested in a position that will utilize my experience and expertise within a team-oriented enterprise as Director of Operations and/or Facilities.

I am the General Manager of a Professional Minor League Baseball Team and stadium, and am responsible for all sales, team and venue marketing, operations management, public relations, and P&L for the team since our inception in late 2004. I have promoted and produced non-baseball events in our stadium (concerts, fan fests, etc). I am an outstanding salesman, and have exceeded sponsorship and ticket sales goals in each of our three years. I work extremely well with the local and national media, and am also fluent in Spanish. I was recently granted a lifetime honorary membership in the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Orange County for my efforts in bridging the gaps between the traditional chambers and the HCOC. I was a member of the IAAM (membership and professional development committees) for several years before moving into my current position. I am seeking an opportunity to work with a venue that is ready to take their building to the next level, and to become an icon in their community. 15 front office staff members, and three players that have worked for me over the past three seasons now have positions of greater responsibility in higher levels of sports. I am excellent at finding and developing talent.

I also have an understanding of venue management from my years selling to NBA/MLB/NHL/NFL venues.

I am a published writer, having written two books, and am working on a third. I was voted the most inspirational player on my varsity baseball team. I am married, and a father of four (two in college, and two in high school). All of the success in my career has been due to solid relationships - with management, with employees, with communities, and with our fans/customers.
