SUMMARY

I am a self-motivated professional who has worked in the electrical/mechanical engineering field for over 25 years. Most of my expertise comes from my experience in the industrial field working with companies that move products and have fully automated equipment, as well as man control systems. I have re-engineered equipment, installed equipment, and engineered new or existing equipment for operations. I can install software programming and search for failures within software programming on equipment. I have worked in several industries ranging from food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and now employed in governmental contracting. I have completed several security clearance and OSHA safety training courses. I enjoy my field of work and have given my full support to companies by coming in on off hours and holidays and by being on 24 hour call to ensure equipment is up and running for operations. I understand that my field of study and position within companies has required me to do so and I will continue to make myself available as needed.

I am actively seeking opportunities for career growth and to be able to offer my skills to companies who are interested in improving operations.
