I am a talented, well trained and highly experienced leader in the field

of engineering. My Job Title has been "Mechanical Engineer" much of my

career but my duties and training have given me the leadership skills to

excel in the areas of Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering,

Process Engineering, Quality Assurance, Vendor Selection and Support, and

Project Management. I can step into any position from Product Concept

through Production Launch and beyond and be up to speed in a matter of

hours. I only promise what I can deliver and always deliver what I promise.

I make sure that I say current in education and training. I also cling to

rare elements from the past; Duty, Ethics, Dedication to the task at hand,

Pride in my craft, Respect and Loyalty towards my Employer and Coworkers.

International Experience:

I was selected to teach classes in advanced printed wiring board design

techniques at SIRIM Burhad in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My responsibilities

included software selection, course planning and preparation, teaching the

class, overseeing the workbook exercises and evaluating the performance of

each of the students.

Clearances:

Currently hold DoD Secret Clearance.

Past Clearances: DoD Secret Clearance from 1985-2000, SSBI Clearance 2004-

2009 (equivalent to Top Secret+ Clearance) Voluntarily relinquished after

close of the program.

Founder of Local Senior Achievement Organization - A group of people with

various skills that gather together to pitch product ideas, develop new

products and technologies and perform market research with the intent of

launching new products.

Additional Skills:

In 2000-2001, I worked pro bono with a startup independent music label

producing music CD's. I took the raw studio DAT tape, enhanced the

individual audio tracks and created the production master. I created the

master artwork for the cover jacket and liner notes on two CD's. I created

one of the first multimedia production music CD's. A segment of the disc

contains a computer readable file that contains video, song lyrics,

photographs and original art. All songs are digitally watermarked so that a

scanner can tell each time a song is played on air for royalty collection.

I oversaw the mass production and packaging of the CD's and shipment to the

distributer. In 2000 I developed several corporate logos for an

independent film production company.

Esoterica:

I have worked on many types programs during my career and no two have

ever been exactly alike. Each new project presents new challenges that

must be addressed. Everything that I have learned and done cannot possibly

be listed on a resume and keep it clear and to the point. I have been

given many awards for my work and acknowledgements for my dedication and

actions above and beyond the call of duty. Being an Engineer/Scientist

isn't my job, it is what I am. No matter the specifics of the task, I put

everything I have into my performance.

multiple layers of anti-tampering technology to protect hardware and

software within the devices. The technical reports that are generated as

part of my new product research are used by upper management to make

critical decisions about the direction new products will take. I have been

called upon to support mission critical circuit card layout and design as

an overflow resource. I am also responsible for obsolete component

replacement for legacy products and I support the integration of product

lines from divisions acquired by Sypris.
