QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY

Machinist with 25+ years of experience working in fast paced dynamic environments (across

various industries, shops and roles), understanding the ‘big picture’ while utilizing the ability to

‘drill down’ into details, interacting with various shop personnel (including engineers) and

amassing the technical knowledge needed to think outside the box to develop time and cost saving

measures

Management – managed teams to ensure prototype and production schedules were met in a

timely manner and within tolerance levels. In addition, assisted team members with technical

functions, multitasking and time management skills, all while maintaining/instilling strong work

ethic

Industries – Defense, aeronautics, prototype, job shop and production

Process Improvements – reduced production time, error rate and manual processes by modifying

machine programs and tooling to blue print specifications within approved tolerance levels

(including .0003 perpendicularity, concentricity, flatness and parallelism), designing computer

programs from scratch and modifying existing programming (at machine when necessary) and

tooling to increase production

Technical – developed in depth knowledge of various machines, software and machining

procedures for multiple metals and plastics (including titanium, plutonium and stainless steel

[414, 303]). Also routinely asked to learn the most difficult (new) machines and related software,

often without the use of manuals, then instruct team members on their use
