Professional Summary
I have been employed in the Quality Field for 22 years, starting out as a Quality Inspector, my career
progressed on to roles as Quality Technician, Quality Supervisor and Quality Engineer. I am a goal orientated self-starter
who enjoys a good challenge and loves the Quality profession. I have always believed in “there’s a better, smarter” way
of doing things and that there is always room for improvement in any process. In Quality, that’s what it is about,
variation, identifying it, reducing and eliminating it….Then improve it. I am of firm belief that there are two questions
that must always be answered when approaching a problem or improvement opportunity, the first being, WHY and
the second being, WHAT IF Go Quality! Now let’s get started!

Experience
14-14 APEX Tool Group – Sumter SC April 2014 - June 2014
Quality Engineer – Under Contract – 3 Months
Responsibilities were to engage 6 Sigma methodologies to improve processes through
various projects and initiatives.
Performed an SOV analysis prompting the creation and documentation of a Standard Work
Instruction in Standard Work format of the Auto-packaging process. Document included
additional inspection steps, documentation and validating guidelines for the prevention of
returned product.
Performed an SOV analysis on a Compound Action Surface Grinding process and identified
multiple sources of variation including the measurement device, surface grinder, fixturing and
down-stream processes.
o Identified a necessary improvement to the measurement device that has been in place
for decades. Improvement would enable the gage to check three design features
compared to the one it was checking.
o Prepared a presentation with proposed solution to improving the process.
Identified and implemented a solution for an identification marking process problem that was
happening for almost a decade.
Involved in performing time studies on equipment, which resulted in changing the production
rates
12 -13 RBC – Roller Bearing Company, Hartsville, SC August 2012 – October 2013
Quality Supervisor – Large Bearings
Responsibilities included supervision and training of quality team in Large Bearings. I was also
responsible for the calibration and maintenance of the gaging systems.
Set-up Training for Quality Team for Non- Destructive Testing
Acquisition of MMQ400 Measurement System to support the measurement of rollers in
Large Bearings, and acquisition of Electronic height gages which greatly reduced variability
in stack-up height measurements which increased productivity by 50%.
Supported RBC training program for new Large Bearing Employees. My contribution was
the training on GD&T, Metrology and Gaging.
04-12 Kaydon Corporation, Sumter, South Carolina 2004 – August 2012
Quality Engineer
Responsibilities included support of the Business Production Units, projects, product returns and
gaging.
Audited supplier and discovered major discrepancies in their process ultimately leading them
to be disqualified as a vendor.
Worked with Mahr Federal and MSI Viking Gage on developing a Form Measurement
Instrument for Larger Diameter Product which could secure up to 2500 lbs, 72” in Diameter
and measure up to 5000 UPR which was unprecedented at that time and the only one in the
world.
Worked with Mahr Federal on developing a Profile Measurement System for Larger Diameter
product that could secure up to 1000 pounds and 72” in diameter, making it the largest profile
machine in the world.
Many of the projects that I worked on with MSI-Viking and Mahr are now in their Metrology
for Precision Bearings Catalog and are marketed around the world.
Implemented industrial computer gage control system in high volume business unit to
monitor process output. System enabled operators to visualize output real-time allowing them
to make machine offsets before scrapping product.
Worked with assigned business units on Continuous Improvement activities which included
developing Standard Work instructions, 5S, PFMEA and MSA activities to reduce variation in
gaging.
Developed standard for Surface Profile Measurement devices and wrote programs to enable
product to be tested and helped with the development of the Standard Operating Procedure.
Worked extensively with the study of Harmonics and development of the standard for
Harmonic Signature Interpretation.
Conducted Root Cause Analysis on all returned product in assigned Business Units.
Cause and Corrective Action Reports
Contract Review
ISO 9000 / AS9000 Auditing
New Gage ordering / design / build
97-04 Kaydon Corporation, Sumter, South Carolina 1997 – 2004
Quality Technician
Responsibilities included supporting the gaging. I began to design
and develop gaging during this time.
The implementation of a fixed bore and od gage was a team project and my involvement was
make the gage work. I was to remove the variation and integrate the software and the hardware.
To date the gages are still functional and accurate to within .0001”. Gages are instrumental in
the measurement of Medical Device Bearing Components for MRI and CT scan devices and
Military applications such as the MRAP turret bearings.
I conceptualized the “Mooney-Matic” and it had built to size path diameters circumferentially.
To date they are being used in Muskegon and Plant 12A. These gages are essential to
production. Accuracy of the gages is measured in millionths. I also wrote a program which is
used with this gage which enables the operators and assemblers to match parts together to obtain
proper Internal Clearance. The gages are currently used for high profile CT Scan and MRI
Medical Devices and used to support production on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Aircraft
contracted to the United States Military.
In 2000, I spearheaded the company’s transition to the ISO9000:2000 revision. I rewrote the
Quality Manual and identified and defined the gaps between the revisions. I trained all
employees including the staff on the new standard and brought Kaydon through the ISO
9000:2000 transition audit with only a minor non-conformance and a couple OFI’s.
Wrote my own programs to estimate cpk/ppk indices because of Minitabs limitations on unilateral
zone tolerancing.
