Assistant Director of Engineering @ Evermore Orlando Resort

About

Long history working in various trades. I started working for my grandfathers roofing heating and air company at 11. I later pursued a higher education in biology and medicine while still working in various trade fields such as heating and air, general maintenance, and land development. After my higher education was complete, I took an internship with Disney where I was developed as a leader in hospitality and customer service. After 5 years with Disney I decided to pursue other opportunities. I am currently pursuing a career in general maintenance. I started with Grand cypress Resort in 2015. In 2021 we became Evermore Resort where I had the opportunity to build a team from the ground up, write and initiate all our department policies and procedures, and design and initiate the employee organization of the Engineering department. I have successfully managed the budget and exceeded industry standards in the way we work together and deliver a luxury product despite limitations.
