Summary

Versatile Maintenance Manager trained in areas of leadership, machine repair and electrical. Thriving in dynamics, I love a challenge in fast-paced professional environments. Being assertive and an enthusiastic person with extensive knowledge of doing the job and getting it done right the first time with an unsurpassed work ethic

Highlights

Being involved with strategic planning and Maintenance for over 25 years, I along with my staff have earned several safety and chairman awards for cost reduction and machine downtime. Being strong in electrical, mechanical and hydraulic troubleshooting has also given me the ability to teach and build a more balanced staff.

Dedication

Being dedicated and respectful to my supports and team has given me their respect and the willingness to go above and beyond most expectations that you wouldn’t find in most plants today. As a manager you have to be flexible but understand the goal and meet production’s needs. Client and employee relationships are very important to me; I have always found that having a team mentality is what gets things done.

Accomplishments

Having a reduction in machine downtime from 22% a week to just under 1% in just a little over 6 months and increasing productivity 36% is the latest accomplishment. By standardizing work procedures and creating obtainable goals in the work place, we had boosted customer satisfaction not only with external but internal customers as well. The feeling has not only been life changing for myself but a turning point for the company. Knowing that we did it safely and even more, we had done it as a team, yes I must give credit where its due, I couldn’t do these thing without having a great team and having them believe in what I am doing, which has always been my goal.
