SUMMARY

I have over 25 years of experience in the mold build/repair,

tooling and fixture profession. I also have 15 years of

knowledge and skills in tool room supervision and management.

I'm looking for a company where I'll be challenged

professionally and opportunities exist for advancement and

growth, both for myself and the company.

WORK HISTORY

2001 - present R&D Engineering Toolmaker, GHSP

I produced tooling and small plastic

injection tools for prototype needs. This included using all

standard tool room equipment along with 2 axis

and 3 axis cnc machines. I also ran Surfcam

tool pathing software to produce 3 axis

parts, often involving multiple set-ups on Haas cnc

machines. Often worked directly with

engineers to obtain desired results.

1999 - 2001 Tooling Leader, Grand Haven Stamp Products

My main duties included setting up a preventative maintenance program

and starting up a fully capable toolshop. I'm also the tool

engineer for all tooling within our custom molding facility.

I set up budgets, purchase components and equipment, schedule

engineering changes and preventative maintenance on a day to

day and yearly basis. I not only direct tooling and mold

issues, I build and repair them as well. I'm also quite

involved in R&D and fixture needs.

1998 - 1999 Team Leader, Batts, Inc.

At Batts, Inc. I was the tool room lead person. My duties included

starting up a custom tool room department to support new

endeavors as well as running it. I worked closely with

scheduling, purchasing, production and engineering. It was a

small department so that I was hands-on with mold builds,

engineering changes, prototype work and repairs which also

included running all the tool room equipment.

1995 - 1998 Leadperson, L.S. Mold

While employed at L.S., I operated all tool room equipment, while

building and repairing plastic injection molds. I was also

responsible for all the work being completed on time, right

the first time, and under budget. Also included would be

scheduling work load, on-going training for employees,

ordering supplies, customer contact, and quoting of jobs.

1983-1995 Supervisor/Lead Moldmaker, Batts, Inc.

At Batts, I started out as a mold repairman before being

promoted to lead man, then into the tool room supervisor

position. I gained experience in meeting deadlines and

schedules while performing on all types of equipment such as

surface grinders, spotting presses, mills, EDM, CNC, as well

as benching and polishing. Other duties included overseeing

mold build projects, customer contact and trouble shooting

molds.

1978-1983 Apprentice Moldmaker, Jetco Tool and Die

I started my toolmaker career at Jetco by working with all

tool room equipment while putting my hours in for my

journeyman's card. By the time I departed, I had advanced to

the lead moldmaker position.
