I've been very Blessed to have had the opportunity to go back to college 5yrs after high school graduation to obtain my Journeyman certificate. - I've worked in mold shops automotive tier 1 facilities. - I've been in die shops automotive tier 1 facilities. - During my career I have had the opportunity to be a shift supervisor, lead senior journeyman tool maker in the entire facility, took the lead in numerous new projects anything from new equipment installs to building dies from the parallels up. - I've been to Mitsubishi several times for wire edm training - I was lead on a shift in cnc department for about 3 years, running a leblond Makino machining center, two Mitsubishi wires, two sinkers, a cnc lathe, and also ran my own heat treat ovens. in that facility we maintained a few customer die but my main function was building new dies ** It's been my greatest honor to have apprentices under me train with me and see them get their journeyman card. That without doubt has been the greatest part of my carrer. I know what that training will do for them down the road and I'm just thankful to have a part in it.
