About Me:

I am a dedicated Mechanical Designer who works hard to accomplish any goal that is set before me. I work well with time schedules and am very effective when needed to multitask my work.

I am skilled in some manufacturing processes (drill press, lathe, and end milling) which help me when doing particular designs. I also have the knowledge of plastics and mold design. I am able to work well either with or without a team, allowing me to fit in today's ever-changing work environments, and am open to new innovations and suggestions that will benefit me and my work as a whole. I strive for high quality designs whenever work is asked of me, and I will always deliver to the best of my ability.
