PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I have been in the manufacturing work force for 30 or 40 years . I started out as a weaver with West Point Stevens and worked my
way up into fixing over time . I have seen the manufacturing up dated over the years and had to learn new things as changes was
made, but it was exciting times to see new machinery come in and things run faster and made better quality of bed and bath as
well as carpet . Competent safety and quality technician demonstrating outstanding abilities in maintaining zero incidents,
reducing man hours and retaining a 100% quality rating during the production processes is some thing that I can be thankful
for and that's I never had a accident while on the job .
