A decade of manufacturing experience, highlighted by nearly 8 years serving as production manager. Leveraging a welding background, I quickly moved into production management, overseeing 2 manufacturing sites with nearly 100,000 square feet of departments, personnel, and equipment. I’m involved in nearly every aspect of production, from design to ship. On a daily basis, I interact with team members throughout the organization including executive, human resources, design & engineering, and operators. I’ve developed intimate knowledge of the product line, it’s manufacturing, and quality control aspects to meet and exceed expectations both of the company, and the customer.ProductI’m required to have extensive knowledge of the product, its design, installation/use case, and maintenance.
