I assisted customers by troubleshooting issues over the phone or by traveling to their location.

Mechanical Engineer

St. Vincent Hospital Indianapolis

August 1994 – October 1999

Designed, Purchased, and Installed multiple compressed air and vacuum systems.

Developed new compressed breathing air systems.

Designed new compressed nitrogen systems for surgical facilities.

I was hired here to evaluate all compressed gas and vacuum systems. There were seven separate vacuum, control air, and breathing air systems that were in dire need of attention. My determination was to replace all water ring vacuum pumps with oil bath screw pumps with multiple bypass redundancies. The breathing air systems were antiquated reciprocating compressors with outdated dryers and filtering properties that were potentially dangerous considering their purpose. I replaced these compressors with oil free Teflon ring compressors. The dryers were upgraded and I implemented desiccant filtration towers with automated contamination alarms thereby adding the needed warning aspect for patient safety. The control air systems were designed sufficiently but needed attention. They were all reciprocating two stage compressors with standard refrigerated dryers. I rebuilt all compressors on site including honing the cylinders, rebuilding the valves, replacing the piston rings and crank bearings. I also added system bypass redundancies for periodic maintenance purposes. My secondary responsibilities at St. Vincent Hospital was to maintain all mechanical equipment including air handlers, refrigeration systems, plumbing systems, beds, and some surgery related equipment.

Millwright

New Castle Engineering, New Castle IN

May 1989 – August 1994

I took this job straight out of the navy because it was convenient. However I soon learned that I love the mechanical aspect of remanufacturing industrial equipment. I started out as a general helper by cleaning parts, removing old gaskets, and physical labor. After a couple of years in this position I was promoted to run my own jobs. My specialty was air compressors and vacuum pumps. If the equipment was too large to feasibly ship to our shop, I would take a team of up to three helpers to the customers work site and perform repairs or complete remanufacturing of the equipment in question. The largest compressor that I rebuilt was a two stage double lung 1,500 horse powered reciprocating Ingersoll Rand driven by a synchronous electric motor. The low pressure cylinder was 72 inches in diameter. I left this job for the opportunity to design and install multiple compressed air and vacuum systems at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.

Electronics Technician

US Navy

August 1983 – April 1988

I entered the US Navy directly out of High School as an Aviation Anti-Submarine Technician. I went through one and a half years of schooling that granted me two distinct NECs that put me on board a P-3 Anti-Submarine Warfare Aircraft. This job was to perform periodic maintenance and repairs on all avionics equipment involved with searching out and destroying enemy submarines. The plane would follow a coordinated search pattern at low altitude and low speed using Magnetic Anomaly Detection to locate potential targets. Once a target was acquired we would implement a system called DIFAR (Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording) to identify the selected target. This data was stored in a cryptographic recording and passed on to the next patrol aircraft to keep tabs on the security of our oceans. During my time in the Navy I was promoted to third class petty officer. I was honorably discharged April 1988.
