OBJECTIVE My objective is to work as a design engineer to develop the best product possible
with emphasis on quality and cost effectiveness.
EDUCATION Master of Science in Industrial Management
Northeastern State University
Graduation Date: May 2002
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology
Oklahoma State University
Emphasis: Mechanical Design
Graduation Date: May 1995
EXPERIENCE PACCAR Winch Division
Broken Arrow, OK
Design Engineer 2004 – July 2009
Designed winch parts and winch assemblies of various sizes using solid models
with Pro/E. Designed adaptation kits for winches, both PTO shaft and hydraulic
power drives to mount onto the back of various makes and models of bulldozers
(CAT, Komatsu, John Deere, CASE, etc.) Supervised the installation of
prototype winches in field for correct fitup. Created installation instructions for
subsequent winches sold.
Gear Products, Inc.
Tulsa, OK
Design Engineer 1998 - 2004
Engineering Draftsman 1996 - 1998
Designed large slew ring rotation bearings, worm gear reducers and worm gear
boxes for the construction equipment and utility industry. Most of the products
produced were custom made, depending on the size of gear, load requirements
and severity of application. My responsibility was to create bills of material and
item masters for all new products produced. Also to keep a file on all new
projects and maintain the integrity of the engineering database.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Successfully mounted and plumbed new hydraulic winches (both open
and closed loop) for bulldozers in the field to replace PTO driven
winches. The end user’s benefit is an infinitely variable speed control
as opposed to mere clutch “on/off” control.
• Designed a new light weight worm gear rotator for Gear Products made
of a steel bearing mounted to an aluminum (as opposed to a cast iron)
housing. The rotator assembly was required for actuating a cab on top
of a boom for spraying de-icer onto aircrafts in winter.
• Proposed a new supplier for the ten highest volume oil seals used on
PACCAR winches. This change yielded a cost savings of $35,000
annually for the company.
