I ran a shop of 5 employees performing various metal forming jobs that consisted of a burn table, a shear and a press brake, for customers in the lower Louisiana area. Oversaw the maintenance of the machines used to perform metal work. I had strategic planning for scheduling the work with the shop to output work efficiently.

I started with EBI back in the summer of 2003 and worked as a helper to welders, fitters, electricians, painters, carpenters, and metal shop.
