After balancing roles in both Engineering and Project Management, I was granted the opportunity to advance and take on a larger role within the company. As the Lead Project Manager, my primary responsibility is to create and implant streamlined electronic communication within our Project Management system, which bridges the gap between our Engineering/Product Development branches and delivers information to our other departments (including Automation, Continuous Improvement of Manufacturing, Sales and upper management). Additionally, I am responsible creating unique solutions for daily company challenges and dilemmas including capacity planning, legal disputes, back orders, orders without lead time, validation improvements and many more. To this end, I have built an automated system for the integration of internal & external projects at our main operations facilities in Lake Zurich, IL; which will bridge the gap with our global operations team. This allows us to boost our output of existing staff by removing time consuming assignments that can be automated, which provides us with much greater productivity and aids in creating the main solution we are trying to achieve.

In 2013, I was named to the Global Patent Committee as it's new chairman for Termax Corporation. As the chairman, I am actively involved in developing, maintaining, and directing over 100 pieces of intellectual property (IP) at Termax, LLC. From invention disclosures, through to patent issuance; I have effectively built and monitored the existing IP and made cost-effective decisions which have allowed the growth of the company.

After a year as a Lead Research and Development Engineer, I earned a promotion and was tasked with driving all current product development projects forward. In order to be successful, I revolutionized the existing project management software while simultaneously guiding each product engineer to become the lead contact for their ongoing projects. Key achievements:Guided the development of vital personnel and assisted in their growth from product engineers by cultivating their skills while providing the opportunity for them to take on a "lead" role in product development and customer interactions. Developed visual formatting of existing product development projects that allows for better communication between the employees, middle management & upper management.

Lead R&D Engineer:In less than three years as an R&D Engineer, I earned a promotion to a senior lead role which I credit to my determination, leadership skills, and my ability to solve problems effectively. I quickly became the most active and involved team member, which gave way to my professional success. As a Lead Research & Development Engineer, I was tasked with leading the design and development for new products in the Termax Corporation. Additionally, I became the liaison between the Engineering department, Sales Team and Termax Customers; all while assisting other members of the team with their designs. I helped lead a growth initiative with a foundation built on training, reviewing, and guidance on key manufacturing practices with regards to product design. Key Achievements:Directed and trained all team members in product and tooling designs, while still producing my original, patented key designs for our top clients. Passed the 20 Patent Application threshold. Earned the position of the Termax Global Patent Review Committee Chairman. This position involves the management all pending patent applications, as well as writing/submitting new invention disclosures.In this role, I am actively involved in every project within the Termax Engineering department.

R&D Engineer:After making great strides in my professional development, I was promoted from my position as an intern to a new position as an Engineer. I began working in tandem with the Termax Sales team and the Termax Research and Development team. During this time, I heavily assisted in designing new products and concepts as well as providing solutions to our customers, which are still in use resolving many issues they face daily. Overall summary:During this time, I committed a serious portion of my efforts to growing my professional skills within Solid-works, Plex, and Microsoft Office. I enhanced my design skills and created a number of patent-pending products. As an R&D Engineer, I truly began to grow my leadership skills and quickly became the "go-to" engineer within the Termax engineering department. Key Achievements: Patent pending on a broad spectrum of designs.Redesigned the process of Engineering Change Requests (ECR's), Manufacturing Feasibility, and FMEA procedures to function seamlessly.Independently designed and built a new, original Project Management system with the Smartsheet software.

After less than a year in the shipping department, I was promoted to an intern, thanks to my innovative thought process and strong understanding of our product line. As an Intern, I learned how to developed Product drawings and fixtures, all while designing tooling and new part designs using SolidWorks. I was heavily involved in maintaining and producing the weekly Engineering Meeting Reports with Microsoft Excel. Throughout out this time, I not only furthered my personal education in college, I also became an expert with the company's ERP system "PLEX" and our EPDM Vault software to store the company's CAD and Intellectual Property (IP). As I progressed in the internship, the company's owner individually tasked me with designing flyers, spec sheets, and logo's for Owner's new sister companies of Termax: True North Corporation LLC, Mag-Daddy Magnetic Fasteners and Rare Earth Solutions (RES).

Shipping Clerk:My duties were to review that all incoming & outgoing material followed the correct procedures, to package product on time despite tight delivery time frames, all while maintaining a clean work area. I quickly learned the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, PLEX. This allowed me to train other employees and develop some core teaching skills. Overall Summary:My time as a Shipping Clerk taught me many valuable lessons about hard work. To say I worked from the ground up would be an understatement. While working in the factory, our team would move hundreds of pounds of product to either the manufacturing floor, shipping area, or inventory locations daily. This physically demanding labor helped me gain an appreciation and understanding of what it takes for our product to be manufactured. I gained great insights on how shipping warehouses operate and allowed me to propose some company specific modifications in the reception of material that are still in use nearly a decade later.

Marine Officer/Community Service Officer:As a member of the Lake Zurich Police Department, I helped provide a fun and safe environment for civilians to enjoy the local lake. My duties were to make sure all rules and regulations were enforced. During this time, I also successfully navigated traffic for local events to ensure civilian safety during travel. Overall summary:The officers at the LZPD taught me great interpersonal skills. I quickly learned how to effectively reach out to others and provide a public service, despite the police force often being taken for granted. The officers taught me how to make a quick yet fair judgement call by taking into account the law while analyzing the situation. These interactions allowed me to develop the ability to resolve most issues in most fair manner possible, which kept the safety of the public as priority number one.

Game Advisor:Provided excellent customer service, achieved the highest product sales rate in the district, all while maintaining a clean and friendly environment. Shortly after turning 18, I was promoted to a managerial position with greater responsibilities.

Key achievement:While our Store Manager was on vacation and I was acting manager, our team achieved highest sales numbers for the District. Later on I was offered an Assistant Manager Position, which I turned down to progress towards my educational goals.Overall summary:My first job (which I earned as a Junior in High School) was one of great personal growth. GameStop allowed me to grow from a shy and quiet high school kid to a vocal and interactive team member. Rather than existing as an average retail associate, GameStop granted me the opportunity to grow and I quickly became the top salesman not only in our store, but in the district itself. This success lead to a promotion where I began to develop my managerial skills. From opening or closing the store, to balancing the books every night or making sure that our team members and (more importantly) our customers walked in to a welcoming environment; I was able grow and begin building a solid foundation.
