Dear Selection Committee,

Thank you for taking the opportunity to review this resume of my

credentials and experience. My background in

manufacturing engineering, product development and engineering management

functions makes me an excellent

candidate to fill the open position.

I have had the opportunity to gain 20+ years professional experience in a

variety of industries including automotive, consumer products, and the

valve industry, after graduating from The Ohio State University with a BS

in Industrial and Systems Engineering. I also completed an MBA program at

Cleveland State University.

I have obtained positions of increasing responsibility, starting as a

Technical Service Engineer at Swagelok Co. before moving to Moen Inc. In

my eight years at Moen I was promoted four times. In subsequent positions

with top companies I implemented new manufacturing and product

technologies. I also obtained extensive international engineering and

business experience. My career progressed into two roles that I especially

enjoy: Sr. level Engineering and Engineering Management.

My employers have noted that I have well developed organizational,

analytical, and communication skills and that I am very creative.

I have the following qualifications that meet the requirements of this

position:

Extensive Background in Manufacturing Processes and Operations
