Summary: As a person, I pride myself on being a self starter. A person who can see a need and take
action to resolve, a creative thinker not scared to get outside the box. I’m able to
communicate well with others, and enjoy the challenge when dealing with different people.
I am well versed in Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, Adobe 8.0, Access, & Microsoft
Projects. I enjoy being a team player and actively practice the concepts of “Continual
Process Improvement” as well as those by Dr. Edward Deming “Statistical Process
Control”. In addition having been involved in the manufacturing as well as the mid-level
management activities of the various sectors utilizing steel, steel alloy and non-ferrous
metal products for the past 20 years I understand the need for and the mechanics behind
upfront & in-process planning, coordination of work activities, progress tracking, execution,
relevant specification/code adherence as well as effective administration of quality control
methods and techniques to insure the on time delivery of quality goods and services.
