SUMMARY

Senior Welding Engineer driven with a decisive and energetic outlook that

provides a directive management style. Proven abilities in the management

of process and product development. Experienced engineer with an in-depth

understanding of welding physics and metallurgy that supports a logical and

systematic approach for providing solutions to manufacturing opportunities

and threats. Enjoys providing presentation and teaching opportunities.

EXPERIENCE

PDM Bridge LLC, Eau Claire, WI

2009 - 2010

Welding Engineer - Bridge Component Fabrication

. Developed welding procedure specification (WPS) documents for State

DOT and Railroad Agencies. These documents involved development of

procedure qualification records (PQR) and fabrication repair

procedures.

. Managed welder qualification testing of workforce per AWS D1.5. Manage

oversight of testing, third party witness agencies, and coordination

with production supervision. Improved monthly welder test ratio from

50% to 100%.

. Led efforts for process and welding improvement of production

applications. These efforts included optimizing of equipment, defining

welder understanding of procedure, and investigating root causes of

errors. Efforts resulted in a 78% reduction of welding rework.

. Led and facilitated an in-house process improvement welding team. The

team looks to develop and define shortfalls in applications and

develop proactive measures to ensure first time quality and developing

best practices. Team instilled four welding improvement programs.

HOBART BROTHERS CO., Troy, OH 2007 - 2009

Business Development Manager - Heavy Equipment Segment

. Developed rapport with key accounts for the development of business

opportunities. Presented analysis of procedure comparisons that

depict improvement and reductions in labor/bottom line costs. Cost

reductions of 5% - 20 % seen as in each case presented.

. Led efforts to develop the use of the gas metal arc tandem welding

process. This effort developed a tandem system consisting of

components from Bernard, Hobart, and Miller. System benchmarked and

prepared for market release.

. Assertive lead in efforts to reformulate nickel alloy flux core

welding wire. Through formal introduction of formulation aspects with

key accounts an approval test procedure was implemented. Completion

of test procedure led to final product approval of reformulation.

. Led efforts at key accounts to provide added value programs through

the creation of training programs. Programs improved production

greater than 10% through increased knowledge of features, benefits

and use of tubular wire.

MILLER ELECTRIC MFG. CO., Appleton, WI

Product Manager - Advance Technology, Arc Stud Products

2004 -2007

. Led and managed the development of products for the stud welding

process. Two patents were applied for and issued for both the welding

power source and consumables, two additional patents were developed.

. Initiated and led efforts to develop a distribution channel for stud

welding products. From analysis, relations were established that

resulted into an access of non-direct distribution to end users.

. Developed and managed marketing materials for stud welding product

line. Materials developed included product literature, training

guildelines, owner manuals, pricing schedules, and product

comparisons. These materials provided distribution tools to market and

sell the stud welding products.

. Initiated and coordinated the supply chain of stud welding accessories

for all non in-house manufactured accessory products. The

coordination included product line items, term agreements, packaging,

and pricing.

Welding Engineer - Arc Research Team 1999 -

2004

. Led efforts for development of gas metal arc twin welding process.

This effort defined principle features and benefit of process and the

establishment of system components. The system went to market.

. Investigated the welding process aspects of variable polarity and

frequency of submerge arc welding. The investigation looked at the

commercialized features and benefits. Product currently in the

marketplace.

. Investigated the concept of alternative products for the stud welding

market. These concepts involve the use of inverter technology and flux

encapsulated weld studs. Concepts were proven to have commercial

value. Efforts resulted in promotion to Product Manager position.

EDISON WELDING INSTITUTE, Columbus, OH 1995 - 1999

Research Technician - Arc Welding and Automation

. Developed and managed project to investigate parameter characteristic

of the gas metal arc welding process. The research depicted the

parameter cause and effect upon the subsequent weld bead profiles.

. Investigated aspects of welding martensitic transmission piping using

manual welding processes. Investigation defined the aspects of using

the gas tungsten arc, shielded metal arc, and metal core arc welding

processes.

. Investigated the concept of welding 2000 series aluminum with

variable polarity (VP) gas tungsten arc welding. Investigation

developed a suitable VP procedure that provided crack free welding of

base material.

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, Columbus, OH 1995 - 1999

Welding Engineering Instructor - Undergraduate Lab

Provided lecture and lab instruction of the manual welding courses in the

new Welding Engineering facility. This position involved designing and

installing the weld training booths and procurement of welding equipment

from manufactures.

LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL, Garland, TX 1991 - 1995

Vocational Welding Instructor

Facilitated operation of two year pre-employment and introduction to metal

trades programs. Improvements to programs were achieved through redesign

of facilities, structure of curriculum, and local sponsoring of welding

contests and field trips.

TRINITY CONTRACTORS, Grand Prairie, TX 1989 - 1991

Pipe Welder - Industrial Contracts

Performed qualified journeyman workmanship for ASME/API code specifications

of plain carbon and stainless steel piping.

MOUNTAIN VIEW COLLEGE, Dallas, TX 1989 - 1995

Welding Instructor - Welding Technology

Provided lecture and lab instruction for course requirements of the Welding

Technology Associates Degree program.

LOCKHEED SUPPORT SYSTEMS, Arlington, TX 1986 - 1988
