SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

Bilingual Senior Mechanical Engineer with 11 years of progressive industry

experience. Highly skilled in casting, injection molding, and sheet metal

design. Proven ability to provide innovative solutions through blank-sheet

design, along with improving existing designs that positively affect

function, First Pass Yield, and warranty. Regarded as a people-oriented

team leader and team player who is open-minded and uses a common sense

approach to design.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

LINCOLN INDUSTRIAL - St. Louis, Missouri 2008 - 2009

(Manufacturer of manual and automatic grease lubrication systems)

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Designed and developed test procedures to evaluate a Grease filter rated at

3000 psi, which included pressure differential clog indication and relief

valve. Innovative system is slated for patent listing and design approved

without reservation by Caterpillar Company.

. Improved Grease Follower Plate to eliminate grease bypassing plate.

Solution successfully addressed and resolved warranty issue.

HUSKY CORPORATION - Pacific Missouri 2004 - 2008

(Manufacturer of gasoline dispensing equipment)

Project Engineer

Project Engineer in charge of vapor recovery nozzles. Managed, supervised,

designed, built, and tested prototypes from concept to production.

Extensive experience with state and private regulation agencies, including

California (CARB), Missouri (MODNR), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Designed prototypes for injection molding, sand casting, die cast, sheet

metal, and coil spring; included assembling SLA to test fit, form, and

function. Qualified new tooling, perform function as-built (assembly)

testing, and life cycle testing. Supported production, such as SCAR

(supplier corrective action), QA (quality alert), FPY (first pass yield)

issues, and ECR (engineer change request).

. Evaluated existing design on a vapor nozzle and redesigned to improve FPY

(first pass yield) by 60%. Redesigns included injection molded and die

cast part that reduced part costs by 98% This resulted in 480% increase

in Nozzle production and 98% reduction in rework.

. Patent for Safe-T-Break. Product designed to separate with a vehicle

drive-off (250lbs) and to withstand in excess of 1000psi without

separating due to internal pressure, such as "water hammer." Entire line

of products has grown from this concept.

. Designed, modeled, and released to production two sand casting gasoline

vapor recovery nozzles, which have two distinct passages for fuel

delivery and vapor recovery. Solutions were for vacuum assist system and

balance system.

PAGE TWO

. Designed a venturi assembly for a CARB (California Air Resources Board).

Assembly must automatically shut nozzle off and remove liquid out of

vapor side of hose. Improved existing design data five times over.

. Reduced warranty returns of conventional nozzle from 40% to 1% by

redesigning sheet metal part.

(Manufacturer of abrasive blasting equipment)

Project Engineer

Supervised, designed, and tested model R&D projects including injection

molded, sand castings, extruded rubber, sheet metal, and flat pattern

stamping. Performed ASME calculations required for every pressure vessel

stamped per ASME code. Designed test fixtures to evaluate existing

products along with prototype. Developed test protocol for new

products/prototypes along with troubleshooting standard equipment.

Improved existing processes through new fixtures, molds, and methods of

manufacture.

. Designed NIOSH, ANSI Supplied Air Respirator/helmet with accessories that

included 3-D design in SolidWorks. Injection Molder window visor with

integral living hinge is used on supplied air respirator/helmet.
