attention to all aspects and detail and I have an excellent work ethic implanted in me and want it to pour out

into all around me and encourage and enhance them as they grow as well. I do all things as I am doing it for

GOD. With that statement hopefully it does not deter you from giving me a chance but pulling you toward me

for granting me the privilege and honor of sharing all of me with your company if hired. I have implemented a

Preventative Maintenance Program that was from the start met with so much opposition but after it started it

grew into a Predictive Maintenance Program then to what some call Proactive Maintenance. We were heading

to world class that is why I am very goal oriented because in this day and time that is very hard to find in a

employee. I have years of training and experience in Safety, First Aid, Kiazen, Lean Manufacturing, 5S and

what some call now 6S, Smart Setup and First Responder. I have in my resume tried to describe my skills and

experience so that you will have confidence with me and in me and give me the honor and privilege of being

a integral part of your team and moving you forward instead of backwards in this very tough economy. I would
