EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
American Shear & Slitter Supply Co., Lincoln Park, MI
2/2002 - 9/2009 CNC Supervisor/Programmer
I started employment in early 2002. The general manager told me he wanted to convert
his manual machine shop into a CNC Production/Manual Jobs shop. His idea was to split
the shop in half. I purchased machines based on existing part runs and work loads. I
installed, networked and brought online each machine as we acquired it. When the
machine was ready for production, I married the machine with an operator either from the
current employee pool and trained them, or acquired them from a temp. agency
or through an ad in the newspaper. I established and documented all Standard
Operational Procedures,Engineering Specifications, Maintenance Standards/Cycles ect.
Basically I also became the company's Technical Writer. When I wasn't performing these
duties, I was converting old prints into CAD files to be converted into CAM files or
designing new parts to be prototyped to customers specifications. In 2006, The General
Manager purchased Ballard Rifle and Cartridge Co., and decided to relocate the
machining side of it from Cody Wyoming to Lincoln Park Michigan. I got all his shop setup
and in production in between mangaing daily activities at American Grinding & Machining.
