Cleveland State University.
I have obtained positions of increasing responsibility, starting as a
Technical Service Engineer at Swagelok Co. before moving to Moen Inc. In
my eight years at Moen I was promoted four times. In subsequent positions
with top companies I implemented new manufacturing and product
technologies. I also obtained extensive international engineering and
business experience. My career progressed into two roles that I especially
enjoy: Sr. level Engineering and Engineering Management.
My employers have noted that I have well developed organizational,
analytical, and communication skills and that I am very creative.
