PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

DRAFTER/DESIGNER, Case Corporation, Burr Ridge Illinois. 3/06 to

Present

Designed and released Pneumatic Down Pressure system for All Ag

Planters Using Pro Engineer.

This involved air spring design, pressure and force analysis,

and tubing and fitting design.

Also required was creating structural components (castings,

weldments, etc) to accommodate

The new design for upper and lower air spring brackets.

Designed and released Updates to the Bulk Fill system for large Ag

planters Using Pro Engineer

Created design that replaced seed hoses with tubing for a

cleaner more aesthetically pleasing

Design that involved rerouting hoses, creating tubing lengths,

and designing brackets to accommodate

The new seed tube and seed hose routings. Also worked on

designing swing arm for routing hoses

When the planter is folded. Worked on new hose routings and

clamps to accommodate the new swing arm design.

Designed and released complete Hydraulic System for large Ag Planters

(4 models) using Pro Engineer

Designed steel hydraulic tubes to replace hoses in key areas on

4 models of large Ag Planters which

Involved designing tubes for the main lift and fold valve,

marker valve, draft tubes, and inner wings.

All tubes, hoses, and fittings were converted to O ring Face

Seal configuration from 37 degree flare.

Currently working on new PL18 Row Unit project to be released in 2015.

Designed upper and lower linkages, upper and lower air spring

brackets, new air spring, air lift package,

Hydraulic Down Pressure package, Hydraulic Lift system all

components are designed to accommodate

A 16in travel range and required design of castings, weldments,

and fabricated parts. Pressure and force

Analysis was required for the design of the new air spring. Also

mentored colleagues on the use of Pro

Piping.

Received US Patent No. 7,530,779 B2 May 12, 2009.

DRAFTER/DESIGNER, General Dynamics, Muskegon Michigan. 3/05 to 3/06

and information drawings for all parts released. Worked on

the L405-L755 Front End Loader project designing

complex sheet metal brackets to accommodate control valve

and self level valve mounting. This

design also involved routing pipelines, hoses and creating

weldments.

Designed and detailed drawings for the new compact loader

line which includes 10 models 10LA-18LA front end loaders. Worked as

lead designer on these projects. Also wrote spec releases and supervised 2

draftsmen. These projects included structure, rubber part and hydraulic

system design. Currently working as Current Product Manager on the next

generation of compact front end loader models 10LB-18LB.

DRAFTER/DESIGNER, Volvo Truck NA, 1/99 to 9/99

Designed and detailed parts and assemblies for the VN

mufflers, pipes, and structure. Designed and drafted

parts and assemblies for the VN battery box. Also worked on

the horizontal exhaust with vertical tail for the

2235 project. This involved modifying existing parts and
