Started up Reliability Engineering program for Kenworth Trucks. The group was responsible for supporting ongoing New Product Introduction efforts (design reviews, DFMEA's, reliability studies, etc.) as well as accelerated testing and qualification of new components including mechanical and electrical.

Acu-Rite was a small company that built linear encoders and digital readouts and controls for use in a variety of applications, including: machining equipment, industrial applications, etc.I started up the Reliability organization to make sure that a new product line that was under development would be successful. The accelerated testing and subsequent design improvements that were made allowed us to launch the new line of products with 75% lower failure rates in the field from the start of production.I additionally took over the Quality organization while working at Acu-Rite. As such, I brough a great deal of Six Sigma tools and approaches to the team to drive improvements in the production line.

Started my career at General Electric with four years in the Machinist Apprentice program. In that program I studied and operated multiple manufacturing machines (lathes, grinders, mills, CNC, etc.). I also had college studies in tool design, materials and other areas. When I completed the Machinist Apprentice program I decided to go back to school for my engineering degree. Afterwards I entered the GE Edison Program (graduate level training for engineering management) and worked as a Reliability Engineer during this period. As a Reliability Engineer I was part of a start up Reliability group that was responsible for qualification and reliability growth on the new AC6000 Locomotive. This included field to understand and model the temperature and vibration stress, test development and qualification of most sub-systems.
