PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

It is my intention to bring to the table, all of my past knowledge to help improve your operation with a team

oriented, honest and dependable employee that can add to the existing experience of your team and

possibly shed some new ideas and processes to improve your productivity, throughput and cost effectiveness,

while improving my own value as an employee of your establishment.

My references will speak for themselves with the hope that I can find a good match with a company who is

interested in continuous improvement, employee involvement and values someone who cares about the stability of the company for which he works. Some people say that teaming is an old philosophy, but I believe that the teaming philosophy is the life’s blood of an operation. It is what keeps everyone thinking and striving for new and better ways to make the company stable and profitable.
