I began my career in Manufacturing, Drafting and Tool Design by attending Rock Island Technical School in Milan, Illinois (The Quad-Cities Region). And received a Diploma in Tool Design, Die Design, and Special Machine Design. We were given, as students, practical projects to design by Alcoa, John Deere and Company, and International Harvester Farmall Works. I have been designing and providing 2D and 3D Drafting and Modeling services, working primarily for small design & manufacturing companies. Some of this work has been projects for various larger corporations and manufacturers. My recent experience has been as a independent contractor providing design & drafting services to my customers. I have experience using the AutoCAD Program for 2D Drafting and Design and using the Alibre 3D Solid Modeling and CAD program for Design. (Alibre has an operating platform similar to SolidWorks and Solid Edge)
Most of my work has been for the Farm Implement Manufacturing Sector; Construction Equipment Industry and the Automotive Industry. Recently I served as a Department of Defense contractor doing Tool and Fixture Design and also as a Mechanical Engineering Technician at the RIA-JMTC
(Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technical Center) in Rock Island, Illinois.
