Over my 13 years with Nashville Wire and the Tool & Die facility, I have been responsible for the design &
building, quoting, customer contact, program management for progressive dies, transfer dies, deep draw dies,
cold heading dies, hot forging dies, blow mold as well as injection mold dies, assembly fixtures, machine
fixtures and tooling.
I was responsible for quoting, designing and program management for both in-house or coordination with
outsourcing.
I have had extensive education in this field of work and am looking to further my education by obtaining a
MBA in the next couple of years.
