   Having been an active participant in the telecommunications industry since being employed as a telecommunications technician while earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (2003) from South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SDSM & T).

I have been the VPS Project Manager overseeing the implementation of unlicensed and licensed wireless networks, including CDMA and LTE networks, being an integral part of the network acceptance testing processes to ensure compliance with the VPS performance-based Plans and Specifications. I have prepared and filed on the clients’ behalf, CGSA expansions, interim construction obligations, grandfathered status filings, and license renewals with the FCC. I have been the VPS Project Manager overseeing the implementation of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) network enhancement. In addition to my wireless activities, I have also been responsible for conducting Central Office power and grounding audits, performing ground field measurements, performing soil resistivity measurements, and designing Central Office ground fields based upon these soil resistivity measurements.
