Operations Manager / Designer
The Millwork Co.
Columbia, SC
Specialty millwork/interior upfit (estimator, material procurement,
generated commercial and residential contract bids and architect
approved drawings, project management, hand generated shop working

scales of production (flow, procedure and efficiency analysis and

space or applications - heavy emphasis on custom and non traditional
applications. Ex.- Shaw Air Force Base air tower cabinetry upfit for
desert storm, Historical refurbish - sanctuary of ornate church after
hurricane hugo, curved custom cabinetry, office, kitchen,
entertainment, etc.
* I refined the fundamental labor functions in the shop and
field operations. This minimized overhead by reducing labor
hours/tradesmen and maintained client satisfaction (timeliness)
without sacrificing quality. I developed more effective
cabinet construction in order to use less materials overall,
mill material more efficiently (less waste), and improve
strength and durability of the product. The net affect of
continually refining production methods in the shop, and
construction methods in the field generated a profound affect on
timing, material use, and quality. Ultimately we dramatically
reduced operating expenses which promoted profitability. This
became critical to the companies survivability as the economic
climate became exceptionally harsh in this industry during the
next few years.
