Nearly ten years manufacturing/production experience within a fast paced, high volume, USFDA registered, ISO certified meat/seafood processing, cutting, and packaging operation.

Well trained in safety, environmental, and quality procedures. Thirteen years, Correctional Officer employed at one of Illinois toughest maximum security prisons.
