MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE
Custom Home Building, 2007 ¡Vpresent
Upon retirement from P&G I concentrated on the building of my custom home in Tennessee. This included value engineering, cost and schedule management. I wired the house myself for audio, video, telephone and computer service. The house was brought in under budget and on schedule during a difficult financial period. Comparing to initial bids I estimate my efforts saved between $150m and $250m. We moved into the house in January 2009. I am now ready to return to the workforce.
