I grew up on a ranch in Montana and began employment at age 16, and started managing employees and projects at age 18.  At the age of 22 I entered the military, where I spend almost 3 years there until I separated and moved to Richland, Washington, and went back to school.  Before I graduated with my master's degree in Project Management I was hired by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as a Project Controls Specialist.  I have spent the last 5 years in project controls at PNNL, Tradewind Services, Perma-Fix Environmental Services, and now self employed as a Project Controls Consultant (ninesproject.com).  My specialties are as follows:

  • Critical Path Method scheduling in P3, P6 and MS Project
