I am a Structural Designer/Draftsman with approximately 35 years of experience.I am interested in a Drafting and Design Position with a stable company and friendly, professional work environment. I would also enjoy a little more diversity, such as field visits or management.I am experienced in AutoCAD, and my specialty has been Commercial and Residential Structures, including steel, concrete, and wood. My work is characterized with clarity and attention to detail and accuracy, often making my drawings, even very complex ones, surprisingly simple and easy to read.I also have experience in Structural Steel detailing.

Please Note: Because I am presently employed, discretion would be appreciated in any contact with my current employer.
