Blake Adams

Dynamic and motivated hands-on professional with over 10 years of U.S. government operations and maintenance on internal combustion engines, main propulsion machinery, refrigeration, and air conditioning equipment, while simultaneously managing a supervisory role. I've consistently displayed excellent management and work ethic skills that contribute to the organization’s goals and objectives. In these roles I have become an independent, analytical thinker and cross-functional team leader, capable of performing tasks under limited management and grasping complex issues/concepts quickly and effectively.
