electrical functions, I also perform basic mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, motor, and encoder repair.

2011-2013 Odd jobs I did to reacquaint my skill set in specific areas, I worked in prior to joining the electrical union

(union electrical work is slow and currently more commercial type, were as, I am an industrial electrician type).

I performed MACHINE TOOL REPAIR and ELECTRONIC COMPONENT LEVEL TROUBLESHOOTING at an

independent automation repair contractor.

I refreshed my skills in CNC MACHINE MAINTENANCE and some PLANT MAINTENANCE at a metal working

production shop.

I also worked, as a SERVICE TECHNICIAN, on electronic industrial and commercial weighing systems, this

allowed me to refamiliarize myself with digital instrumentation programming, installation, and troubleshooting.

1987-1990 I was employed by several non-union Electrical Contractors performing Electronic duties and learning

to be an electrician.

1986-1987 I was employed to Start up Indiana Toll 80/90, built a test center to troubleshoot all hardware installed

on the Toll Road. Test center was also used to debug the software.

1984-1986 I was employed by a weighing systems Controls Manufacturer performing Electronic repair, Fabricating

test fixtures, and providing factory Customer Support, over the telephone, to the dealer network in the USA and

Canada.

1979-1984 I was employed as a Field Technician, and Service Manager, performing all types of field service, in the

industrial/commercial electronic/mechanical/hydraulic weighing systems industry.

1979-1981 I attended College for Electronic Engineering, I graduated and obtained a FCC First Class,
