Bio
William "Mac" McCarthy
Alex is a exceptional employee who holds himself to a very high standard. Alex was responsible for ensuring my protective equipment was in good order and was stationed as a member of my emergency rescue team when I made entries into the Chemical weapon environment. His attention to detail and professionalism helped relieve some of the anxiety of a very stressful activity. A superior coworker - add him to your team now.
Anna Jackson
I had the pleasure of working with Alex at the Newport Chehmical Demilitarization Faclity. I was there for approximately 6 months during closure and represented the Environmental Department and Alex was a chemical waste handler. From my observations, Alex was a great asset to the closure activities. He worked safely which is very important at the end of a project when some folks minds are on their next job. He took the time to ensure that the waste was properly closed, packaged, labeled, and secured prior to moving it to the accumulation areas. Alex was respectful of his team members, management, and personnel (like me) who had no direct line management to him.
