Professional experience

September 2012 - Present Melling Industries Jackson,

Michigan

General Manager (September 2012 - Present)

I planned, directed and accomplished the integration of two of

Melling's businesses into one business and one facility. I

developed and implemented the move of machinery and critical staff

establishing a combined structure. Directed the combination of

financial accounts and assets, and took the lead in communicating

with customers of both organizations during this critical period.

This was all accomplished in a six-week period and a seamless

transition for our customers. Through this consolidation I was

able to achieve significant cost reductions and increased

profitability. I was able to take two businesses that lost a

combined $300,000 in fiscal 2012 and realize savings in excess of

that amount within fours months of the consolidation. Melling

Industries is a manufacturer of high volume precision turned metal

products has approximately 42,000 square feet of manufacturing

space, with annual sales of $10,000,000. Melling Industries

services the Automotive, Marine, Industrial, Heavy Duty Truck and

Agricultural industries.

As the General Manager of the newly combined businesses, I am

responsible for the P & L of the facility and oversaw all aspects

of Operations, including product launch and development,

engineering, quality, material procurement, lean manufacturing,

problem solving and continuous improvement.

Increase management's effectiveness by recruiting, selecting,

orienting, training, coaching, counseling, and disciplining

job results; developing incentives; developing a climate for

offering information and opinions; providing educational

opportunities. Oversee and ensure high safety standards at all

times.

Provide leadership and vision to the organization with the

development of long range and annual plans, and with the

evaluation and reporting of progress on plans. Oversee preparation

regular reports summarizing progress on short and long-range

plans. Provide leadership and vision to the organization with the

January 2012 - September 2012 Melling Sintered Metals

Billings, Oklahoma

General Manager (Contract Position)

I developed a plan and accomplished the recovery of a failing

60,000 sq. ft. Powder Metal facility. I successfully brought this

facility to positive EBITDA in three months after it sustained

loses for 30 consecutive months. This was accomplished through

financial management of cash strategies; control costs, improving

cash flow and reducing accounts receivables, improve operations,

increase productivity, develop staff, establish operational

procedures and standards and most importantly drive the plant to

profitability. By the six-month mark net income was positive

$65,000. Additionally, I eliminated $750,000 in backorders.

As the final step in my contracted responsibilities, I recruited

and hired a General Manager with experience in Powder Metal and

assisted in the transition in leadership by leading the

development of a Vision and Mission Statement and the performed

sales and financial forecasting for the next fiscal year.
