Objective-

To obtain a position within your company in which I am able to increase productivity, increase profits while helping to build a productive team environment.

About me:

I am a hard working, detail oriented person who enjoys working on projects. My work experience as well as my hobbies (3D CAD- SolidWorks, 3D Printing) have provided a diverse background in manufacturing, CAD design, 3D Printing as well as Purchasing and Inventory Control.

in 2013 I started my own small business designing, manufacturing and selling 3D printer accessories. (GRMProducts.com) My knowledge in packaging design, quoting, product design and manufacturing allowed sales throughout the world to all major universities, numerous Fortune 500 companies and defense contractors. However, sales have slowed dramatically due to the swift changes in 3D Printer technology resulting in a decreased need for the products we offer. Because of this I find myself looking for employment where my diverse skill set can be utilized.

In an effort to increase my income I was given a chance to try outside sales on a

part-time basis splitting my time between sales and purchasing roles.
