Gene — Senior Control System Engineer

I have been working with Allen Bradley/ Rockwell my entire career and currently work with Guardlogix for theme parks. Even with all my experience I continue to learn everry day with these products.

Very strong product that is popular within the manufacturing industry. Worked on several large scale projects to improve and upgrade automation systems.

A unique PLC platform but very reliable. I have used these products on various projects but primarily in the Water/Wastewater industry.

I have used the products in several projects. These are great products just not as popular here in america.

Used for different projects throughout my career.

The majority of the projects I have worked on required instrumentation of some kind. Most were large scale processing plants that required a lot of instrumentation. Working with items such as level, flow, pressure, vacuum and temperature to name a few.

I have been in the industry for over 35 years and have worked in a variety of industries with a diversified collection of projects. I continue to learn and get better as I apply my knowledge and experience to the next project.

I have been responsible for large projects managing the challenges that come with each one. Working with a culture of diversified individuals and applying their strengths to a project to provide the customer with a quality product. Extensive experience with customer relations.

Most of my work has been with software development for projects. I work with PLC languages as well as PC languages to obtain an robust and efficient product for the customer.
