Re: Welcome new members.... Introduce yourself!

If you have a call, I would appreciate the opportunity to be involved.   Although not identical, some of my experience from a career in National Accounts involved assisting in bringing disparate parts of larger companies to a unified cost effective corporate philosophy. It also would be great to hear the comments you have knowledge of from your experiences.

Please give a call and speak to either myself or my partner, Margy.

Thanks, and good luck to you!

Hi Kirk,

If you are in need of consolidation for your regional window, flooring & sign cleaning, or pressure washing/awning dusting - than please let me know. We offer services throughout the US, and in this economy I've run a few cost comparisons for clients that have resulted in maintenance consolidation & significantly reduced pricing.

I am in Central California and you can reach me at (925) 459-5536 or via email at jaclyn@gawc.us. I'm always happy to help and I try to make the process as painless as possible (for you).

Have a great day! Jaclyn Frenzel with GAWC, Inc.

Eric:  My name is Mike Eavey.  What are your professional qualifications?  My company in Chevy Chase MD is looking for building engineers.  While the position is not as a Facility Manager it is in the Facilities Department with the opportunity for advancement.  I have worked here for almost 37 years and started as an Engineer Trainee.  In case you think Chevy Chase is a long way from Hagerstown let me assure you that it is, but probably not much further than from my home in Thurmont.  Travelling long distance to work is not ideal but it beats unemployment.  If you're interested let me know.

Mike Eavey,  GEICO

Engineering Supervisor

I'm Don Parris, in Charlotte, NC.  I'm the Security/FM Coordinator for a client in the wallboard manufacturing industry.  As part of my job, I began coordinating our alternative commuting outreach program, which led to me achieving the LEED AP O+M credential.  I subsequently joined IFMA and am now a Facility Management Professional.  In addition to the usual security responsibilities, I work with all of our contractors and make adjustments to the HVAC system, as necessary.

I am now seeking a new opportunity in Facility Management, where I can put my 16 years of experience and credentials to better use.

      Hi, My name is Dave Ferguson.  I have over 30 years experience in the construction and maintenance field, the last 15 years as a facilities manager responsible for all facets of maintenance and operations in a 450,000 sq. ft. divisional headquarters campus located on 41 acres.  Like most of the people in this field today, there are many hats to wear including energy management and procurement, environmental compliance, security, life safety, ADA, construction and renovation project management, along with the daily routine associated with the maintenance of the buildings and grounds..... In my spare time, HA!, I like to fish.

My name is Mike, I am a Chief Engineer with CBRE in Reston, Va. My former boss turned me on to this site some time ago, but just joined this morning. Seems like a great bunch of people here.

Hi Everyone

Ash here. Finding some of the readings here very useful and informative for my facilities management work. I'm going currently in singapore and will be based in Doha, Qatar soon to head the engineering department for a residential building.

Hope to learn and maybe put into practise topics discussed here.

Cheers!
