Engineer with a mid-sized manufacturer of replacement components for rotary bottle filling and bottle capping equipment. Previously owned and operated a small general machine shop for 10 years. We produced custom machined components for local businesses. The day to day was mostly machining related. I did design and build custom products. I'm particularly proud of is the Minute Man wheel lift. It was designed for repossession companies to transform any 3/4 ton and larger pickup truck into a tow truck. After my entrepreneurial days I worked as a machinist, CNC programmer & Manufacturing Engineer for a international corporation that produced valves, seals & pumps for diverse applications. I worked my way into an Manufacturing Engineering position over a 9-1/2 year span. My current position as an Engineer is quite diverse. I wear many hats that pull from my many years of manufacturing experience. This experience has proven very valuable to create functional designs using SolidWorks. Within these functional designs I ensure that the components are designed for ease of manufacturing.

My strengths included mechanical 3D modeling along with drawings and G-code generation for CNC machining. Some competitions I competed in were MITES and SkillsUSA. I competed in MITES my sophomore through senior year where I had multiple projects place top 3 in the state. I competed in SkillsUSA nationals in a team of 3 where I focused on the G-code generation along with CAD modeling and drawings.
