Twenty-five year disciple of lean manufacturing. Performed in a leadership role for my entire professional career with a proven track record of accomplishments. Possess a very large tool box of knowledge, skills, and abilities that has allowed me to adapt and thrive in three distinctively dissimilar manufacturing arenas: exhaust, automotive seating, and custom equipment. Expertise includes Project Management, Costing, Training, Work Cell Design, Lean Manufacturing, and Design for Manufacturing.The focus on meeting my customer expectations and being an excellent team builder and member allowed me to perform above expectations in these diverse areas. Decisions are data driven with the knowledge that making three small quick steps through this decision making process yields better results than waiting to make one big step based on a large data set.Through the course of my career I have embraced the lean thinking and methodology of the Toyota Production System. While I have not had the advantage of becoming a Six Sigma Black Belt, I have benefited from utilizing many of the tools employed by these individuals.My objective at this point in my career is to work in a growing company that is a front runner in their respective industry. I am a good mentor with leadership skills that encourage growth personally and professionally. My preferred positions are Senior Program management or Engineering Management in any growing industry.
