JOB CHANGE HIGHLIGHTS
1980 Virginia Power canceled construction of nuclear units 3 & 4 at North Anna Power Station resulting in Stone &
Webster's cutbacks. S&W offered me a transfer to a start-up Singapore power station construction project but I
decided to stay in the area and took the IS Manager position at Baker Equipment.
1994 3 major layoffs at Baker in 1991-93 due to an economic turn down in the utility industry. I accepted an
unsolicited promotion in 1992 to Managing Director and in 1994 a consulting company purchased major interest in
Baker which led to a reorganization removing that level of management. From 1980 to 1992, Baker grew, with the
assistance of automated systems for which I was responsible, from $13M in sales to $145M.
I took the Chesterfield position in 1996 after my father's death, in order to be closer to my elderly mother (I was an
only child, recently divorced, no children), with the understanding that I would stay at Chesterfield at least 2 years. I
did stay almost 5 years. In 2000 I left Chesterfield County after my mother's death. I then operated and sold the
small family oil distributorship, arranging the deconstruction and removal of oil storage facility tanks and dealing
with the EPA as well as consulting on occasional systems projects.
