Summary
In 32 years of experience in the fire protection community, my career of service in this area has offered opportunities as design engineer, project manager, engineering supervisor, fire plans examiner, fire suppression consultant, BIM coordinator, hardware and software design consultant, 3-D modeling manager, IPD integrator, fire hydraulics instructor, materials manager.
The future is bright as I envision my role in greeting the challenges of Fire Life Safety in an ever increasing society of growth and change. I feel this can be embraced through new and innovative software solutions, training opportunities and the infusion of new technology.
Experience
The diversity of Peak Engineering to meet all Fire Life Safety needs from structural, mechanical, elevator, means of egress, building material types, alternate means and water supplies to name a few, can create an environment of energy, which directed properly can provide for a synergistic approach to an overall projects success.
My role as providing administrative support and design includes that of software and hardware integration, maintenance of an ever expanding data base and the management of that very valuable asset of time.
As senior engineer with Systems Tech, I utilize the skills and many years of experience to oversee design, coordination and computer technology. My expertise in the field of fire protection engineering enables me to coordinate both the mechanical and fire protection elements of the projects that we are involved with.
My particular area of expertise is fire sprinkler systems. Fire sprinkler line and head placement is engineered after determining applicable code requirements, architectural features, structural limitations and occupancy classifications. He then performs hydraulic calculations to ensure adequate fire sprinkler coverage and water demand.
I have designed wet pipe, pre-action, Vortex, deluge, foam, dry pipe, exposure and rack systems. And have coordinated design efforts through BIM, using Navisworks and AutoCAD.
Throughout my years of service in the community, I have gained the respect of municipalities, water districts and fire departments when it comes to fire sprinkler engineering in the greater Sacramento area.
Provided accurate fire sprinkler designs for commercial and large residential projects. This included an accurate field survey of the existing structure, if available. Dissemination of structural, mechanical, electrical and geographical conditions that would dictate overall design of an applicable fire suppression system. Secured all materials and deliveries for said projects and ensured that all construction deadlines would be met.
