Journeyman Machinist

To whom it may concern,

My name is Wayne R. Kurtz, and I am a Journeyman Machinist with over 20 years of experience. During that time, I have acquired a wide variety of experience, including being involved in the selection and training of apprentices. During my free time I have taught myself AutoCAD as well, to improve prototype parts at work. Outside of work I also enjoy hiking, spending time outdoors with my dog, and reading. I am a dedicated, hardworking, thorough, team player.

I am currently seeking a new challenge to continue my career, and I believe I would be an excellent fit at your company. If any of my skills can be of use to you, do not hesitate to reach out to me for further information. I can do phone, in person, or web interviews as well. Thank you for your time and consideration,

Wayne R. Kurtz
