Summary

I am a Project Engineer with a proven track record at Adpma, excelling in managing and completing my projects. Skilled in creating parametric models and documentation, I enhance team collaboration and help to drive process improvements. I use Excel and MS Word to create schedules, checksheets, spreadsheets, and compile data for my projects.


My most recent project is an assembly featuring many multiple parts and sub-assemblies and has required a lot of testing and scheduling to meet delivery deadlines.


I am also in charge of and maintain our ISO14001 Environmental Management System. After volunteering to run this program for our company, I developed and improved our system of maintaining, using, and storing chemicals. I created a file system both digital as well as hard copy and implemented fire safety, chemical hazards safety, and emergency evacuation courses and training for our employees to take each year. I have had 3 satisfactory audits of the ISO14001 program since taking on the responsibility several years ago.


I am a Honorably Discharged veteran of the US Army. I was in the infantry and served all positions within an infantry squad. I received several commendation awards and was selected to receive training on the Maneuver Control System which was a precursor to today's modern digital battlefield communications. I was a part of this system being implemented and helped with troubleshooting and testing it in it's early stages.
