Summary

I'm a 40yr old experienced mechanical engineer who loves every inch of what I do. I thrive to learn and apply every skill I have to redesign or fix anything broken or just needing maintenance. I have 8 years as 3rd engineer and 8 years a lead blaster and painter. I'm a proud father of 3 awesome boys and a husband of 14 yrs to my hard working wife who is a full time student and depends on me to make a difference 1 day at a time. I love my Lord JESUS CHRIST and thank him everyday for humbling my surroundings and for unanswered prayers.
