Experience/Skills:

My professional experience is comprised of multiple types of manufacturing, which consists of CNC, fabrication, and thermoforming, as well as programming machinery to achieve greater productivity in less time, thus increasing profitability.

As a plant and production manager, I focused on inventory control, daily production to meet specific daily, weekly, and monthly goals. Leading my team involved supervising the entire shop and working with engineering to address quality control issues efficiently, thus reducing costs.

In both of these positions, I utilized Microsoft Excel and multiple software systems to assist in managing all levels of production. I was also instrumental in connecting with sales to be sure that all delivery deadlines were met while providing quality products.

I can assist your company in cutting costs while maintaining quality through production planning, internal audits, lean manufacturing, process improvement, and the utilization of leadership skills based upon working in all areas of the manufacturing and production processes of multiple companies.
