Experience

Mechanical Engineer/Project Manager

Burr Oak Tool Incorporated Sturgis, MI August 1994 Present

Project Manager for New Product Development. Responsible for scope, schedule, cost,

quotations, specifications, management, testing, evaluation, etc. Experience with MS Project and

Project Management.

Served as Project Manager and Lead Designer for Multivoid Tube Cutoff Machine. This

machine uncoiled multivoid tube, straighted, end formed and cut the tube to length, at a speed of

about 150 tubes per minute.

Project Manager and Lead Designer for a metal turbulator transfer and insertion machine, that

would take metal turbulators from a special press and insert them into a heat exchanger coil.

Mechanical Design Engineer for industrial machinery. Responsible for conceptual design, detail

design, research and development. Experience with Solid Works 3D Modeling. Head of design

team for the Tube and Coil Processing Department.

Designed a prototype 'pull' expander that used a collapsible, segmented bullet that would expand

the hairpin tube on the way out of the tube.

Part of a design team that developed an electric hairpin tube bender that was specifically made

for small diameter tubing.

Designed a Double End Form Machine that transferred pre cut tubes from a hopper, and used

rotating tools to simultaneously end form both ends of the tube.

Department Head – Horizontal Progressive Expanders. Responsible for all aspects of the

design and production of Horizontal Progressive Expanders.

Improved sealing methods of hydraulic cylinders, designed an expander support table and coil

support table, and developed models that would expand up to three hairpins simultaneously on

Horizontal Progressive Expanders.

Research Assistant – University of Idaho

Moscow, ID September 1992 – August 1994

Developed a computer Model to simulate soil temperature response to ground coupled heat

pumps when ground coils are beneath a house, and investigated ground coil sizing requirements.

Assisted in the installation and instrumentation of a 2 speed heat pump system.

Assistant Project Manager – Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

Idaho Falls, ID May 1990 – August 1992
