Started work with Filippo Fochi Energia in Italy as a Junior Planner & Cost Controller; power generation, seeing my technical background from the Navy working with steam generators and steam/gas turbines it was a well suited start to my carreer.
These first experiences in the planning world were so good, it created very strong foundations for all the years to come to build upon. We were already doing earned value back then, don't think it's some new concept.
