PERSONAL PROFILE

Let me start by saying I’m in my 60’s, I retired in 2018, but am now ready to return to manufacturing for another 5-7 years. Seeking a manufacturing management position that utilizes my 30+ years in manufacturing management including steady progression from engineer, supervisor of eng, manager of mfg eng, supt of mfg, plant manager, general manager, to VP of manufacturing. Majority of my experience has been in the metals field with a focus on machining, metal stamping, molding, painting, and assembly but I have worked in various other fields. My strong suit is plant turn-a-round (turning loss position into a profit position) and mentoring other, younger, managers.
