a Tier1 OEM, in response to your reply you asked of locations I would be interested in NorthEast and NorthWest
Georgia would be very convient, but I’m open for negotiations. I am very interested in advancing my career
with a company that I can grow as it grows, and with the depth of my experience that I can offer that will
contribute to any leading automotive industry management position. I'd love the opportunity to help take any
Tier 1 OEM to the top of that field.The attached resume shows that I have the background and experience our
industry demands, and any Tier 1 needs.The attached resume details my extensive experience and training. If

Summary
My accomplishments include first receiving two associates in Machine Tool Tecnology which includes C.N.C
programming. My next accomplishment was being introduced to tool and die maintenance, which include tool
and die maker internship, in which took me to a tier 3 tool and die maintenance technician, and die maker
from written test and shop test. I then sought to go into stamping management, little did I know how much I
had grown, and I was assistant project manager in the layout and installation of newly introduced tier 1 OEM
called Voestalpine Metal Forming in Cartersville Ga. In which Presisdent Obama sent out a news letter of how
proud he was of the expedient growth and success of this new facility. I stayed on as stamping supervisor/set-
up technician, until I received an opportunity to become stamping supervisor only.
