These jobs included many diverse occupations, including such professions as: Carpenter, Concrete Mason, Stained Glass Artisan, Detail Drafter, Machine Fixture Designer, Electronics Engineering Technician, Custom Prototype Fabricator, Electronic Repair, Conservationist, and Produce Farmer.

Electronics Service Technician 03/1997 - 12/2001 HH Gregg Central Service East 96th Street, Carmel, IN I diagnosed, repaired, realigned and bench-tested high end consumer electronics systems, including Audio, Video, and Computers. I often led my department in several metrics, such as most units completed, fewest reworks, most hours worked by a bench tech, and was often appointed Dog Tech, the person who would repair units that other techs had given up on.

DORMAN & ASSOCIATES, Indianapolis, IN: 6-95’ to 1-97’; as an Electrical Engineer and Lead Electronics Technician, I was responsible for establishing procedures used in the troubleshooting and repair of many types of industrial electronic equipment. This included failure mode analysis, reverse engineering, technical research, design and construction of test jigs and emulators, as well as component testing, typing, substitution, sourcing, and ordering. Typical work included such items as power supplies, AC and DC motor drives, microprocessor based controllers, PLCs, and analog control devices.

Carbide Grinding, Inc., (Former member, UAW local #957)As Diamond Area Leader, I was accustomed to making parts out of extremely hard and strong materials such as machine cutting inserts and form tools with typical tolerances of +/- 0.0005" (0.0127 mm), and on special tools, down to +/- .0001" (0.00254 mm) Materials used included tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, tool steel, aluminum oxide, Greenleaf Ceramics, CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride), Borazon, polycrystalline diamond (PCD), and mono-crystal diamond as well. This also taught me a great deal about Grinding Wheel technology as well. And I established SPC methods on the factory floor in order to meet Ford's ISO 9001 supplier requirement for 1994. I made these machine cutting tool inserts for many Automotive and Aerospace Companies, including: Chrysler Transmission, Kokomo; IPT, Greenfield; Ford Steering Indy: GE Aviation in several cities: Zohllner Pistons in Fort Wayne; and New Venture Gear in Muncie, just to name a few. Section Leader Responsibilities included the design, induction brazing, EDM rough shaping, finish grinding, polishing and final inspection of Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) and Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) tipped machine tool cutting inserts. I was also responsible for the training and supervision of all workers that did work for this area. I was required to do set-up, quality control, production scheduling, fixture design and construction, machine maintenance, and quality improvement. During the course of my employment, I designed and developed methods and techniques used in the manufacture of PCD and CBN tipped machine tool inserts. Machines used included: Agie CNC EDM, Ewag Precision Diamond Grinder, Coborn PCD Wheel Polisher, Ameritherm RF Induction Heating Station, Harig Surface Grinders, MCS Ultrasonic Baths, Blanchard Flat Grinder, Wit-O-Matic Automatic Carbide Insert Grinders, and Bridgeport Vertical Mills.
