Objective

I am interested in obtaining a full time machinist or machine related position for a company that provides

some retirement savings opportunities. I have been married for 25 years and have 2 children. The

majority of my career I have worked in a manufacturing environment and have many years of experience

to bring to a new position. I have always enjoyed challenging work and learning new equipment.

Work Experiences

I have 35 years of machine shop experience which includes conventional lathe and milling machines,

Haas CNC vertical milling machine operation and programming and setup and programming for wire

EDM. I enjoy challenging work and for the majority of my career was required to comply with very

restricted tolerances.
