CASE STUDIES

You didn’t come this far to stop. Neither will I.

Land Remediation Research and Follow-Up

One client approached me to say that he owned a piece of property that had land remediation for petroleum done on it at one point by the state but he didn’t have the final letter from the State of MN to release him from the liability side of it. After several years of inactivity, he didn’t know where to start. So I focused on figuring out what had been done, contacted the state and eventually tracked down the paperwork and applied for the release. It took some time and cost a few dollars in paperwork / filing fees but the client got his letter and we managed to solve the problem in a reasonable period of time.

Home-made video series for hot rod shop

Gizmos Custom Cars is a specialty car fabrication shop that hand builds cars for race teams and hot rod enthusiasts. They had a concept of building a car out of a 1960’s Plymouth wagon that would go 200mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats and wanted to document the build. Without a Hollywood-sized budget to work with, we devised a ‘home made’ show concept that didn’t cost that much overall and would communicate the value and express the incredible amount of work it takes to built a car from scratch. To date, that series, Gizmos Garage on Youtube, has had more than 100,000 views and nearly a 1,000 subscribers after 32 Episodes and the channel is well on it’s way to being monetized. This was a two year project that presented a lot of amazing challenges but it worked out well for both Gizmos and for the sponsors. You should see the car – it’s amazing!

Major building maintenance projects

To be fair, this project was while I was an employee for a large charity, but it still illustrates my ability to accomplish big tasks for your company.

While working as a Maintenance and Fleet Supervisor for a 36,000 SQ FT commercial community center owned by The Salvation Army, I helped locate vendors, put together specifications, bid proposals and oversaw major projects like replacing AHU’s , EPDM roofing repair, electrical projects and an elevator shaft that flooded because of a failed sump pump, among other things. These are real deal big-person projects that require serious research and people skills – the same skills I can bring to your company should you need to deal with any of these types of projects.
