I am looking for a maintenance management position near the

Montgomery, Auburn or Troy areas. I live about 30 minutes southeast of

Montgomery, Al. I have been married for 13 years and have 3 wonderful kids.

I am looking to get back into the maintenance field. My work history is

scattered. I have worked in many different industries and as you will see,

but please don't hold that against me. I believe that I am a well round

individual with an open mind. By combining my knowledge of several

different fields of work and combining them has enhanced my ability to

think outside of the box and see ways of improvement. If people like me did

not think outside of the box, we would still be living in the stone age.

My work history is as follows:

Presently: Bonnie Plant Farms - Salesman

I am a route salesman in the southern New,Jersey area. I sale and

deliver herb and vegetable plants to customers. I have increased the sales

on the route by over $100,000 in the past three years. Reason for me

looking is that my family stays in Alabama while I'm working. I don't see

them from February to July each year.

2009-2011: KW Container - Maintenance - Injection Plastics

This was a plastics company specializing in production of plastic

paint cans. I worked as a maintenance tech. I also trained new maintenance

employees. I was the on-call maintenance tech over the whole plant after

only 2 months of employment. Other on-call techs took over 6 months to be

placed on call and were only called for certain areas of the plant. Reason

for leaving is that the company started having layoffs and cutting hours

back due to lack of sales. I was never laid off or cut hours, but I never

knew from day to day if the doors were going to stay open.

2007-2009: Wayne Farms - Maintenance Supervisor 1st shift

Wayne Farms is a 1st process poultry plant. This was very new to me,

but I caught on quick. While employed I saw the lack of training within

the employees. I went over the PM program made necessary changes and

updates. Gave test for all maintenance employees to see their level of

ability. The cost of operation dipped dramaticly over the next 6 months.

Downtime from training and proper PM's being performed decreased from hours

a week to hours a month. Some weeks we had no down time. At first the

maintenance staff was not happy with me changing there way of doing things,

but after a few months they appreciated it. The equipment started running

with less breakdowns and their training helped them understand how the

equipment operated. I always praised them for their turn around at the

plant. I am still great friends with the maintenance team.

2006-2007: CSX railroad - Conductor

CSX is a Class I railroad. I worked as a freight conductor ensuring

freight cars are positioned correctly in the train and all cars are

delivered to the proper destination. Help ensure the engineer is

controlling the train properly and other various jobs. Left due being laid

off.

2004-2006: Graham Packaging - Maintenance Tech/Line Supervisor - Blow

Molded Plastics - Managed 10 employees.

Graham Packaging is the largest bottle manufacture in the world. Hired

to help install a new line. The "Arizona Gallon Tea" bottles. After the

line was up and running we, the maintenance team and myself, made several

modifications to the line to speed up production. After about 9 months we

where out producing the other 5 plants that manufactured the Arizona bottle

2 to 1. I was asked to help form a company tech crew to travel from plant

to plant to help find problems and come up with ideas to increase

production. Every facility that we visited had an increase in production.

Left due to plant closure and did not want to relocate.

2002-2004: Progress Rail Services - Electrician

Progress Rail owned Kershaw, which is a manufacture of rail and right-

of-way equipment. I worked as an electrician building, designing and

installing wiring harnesses and electrical components. Designed and

redesigned several electrical systems on many pieces of equipment being

produced at this facility. Reason for leaving was several factors including

no raise as promised, layoffs and many other problems.

1999-2002: Winn-Dixie - Maintenance Tech/Trainer

1998-1999: Sanders Lead - Electrician

1995-1998: Poole Truck Lines - Diesel Shop Supervisor - Managed over 60
