CAREER GOAL

I am seeking a career in manufacturing within an hour’s drive of Princeton Kentucky, 42445.

I approach manufacturing in a root-cause improvement manner. Changing how a part is made, how flow is managed, and what processes to use are fundamentals to my way of thinking. Experience as a change leader managing engineers and team members within the plastics, metals and wood products industries is what I am offering. I combine the abilities of explaining technical issues in simple terms with hands-on public speaking methods to engage and motivate groups of all educational backgrounds. These traits have enabled me to manage profitable changes to manufacturing operations.
