As a processor my main job pertained to the production and processing of fish in most aspects of an a conveyer belt assembly. This included working and maintaining a clean and safe working environment while communicating and working closely with a large group of people that were from various backgrounds. We worked closely to process fish and products brought to the processor from start to finish or fresh to frozen.

As a Deckhand I was in charge of running a crew as a shift leader. Our main objective was the offloading of fish from catcher boats after safely securing them to the ship. This included constant crane operation in order to facilitate a pumping system that we operated in order to remove the fish from holding tanks on the catcher boats to the processing ship. This involved constant and concise verbal radio and hand signal communication in order to safely, efficiently and productively achieve this common goal. Downtime included the maintenance and operation of gear above and below the decks of the ship as well as frequent fork lift and crane operation.

As a deckhand on catcher boat I was involved in the process of maintaining, setting and retrieving of nets, gear and tool used to catch primarily pollock, a common mid-water fish. I was also in charge of inventory, planning, preparation and cooking for the entire crew of 5.

As a self-employed subcontractor in a growing retirement village in Ocala I worked with a partner in the application of composite shingle roofs on newly built homes This involved the application of metal flashings, vents, drip edge, sealants, shingles, ect. The use of tape measures, chalk lines, skill saws, pneumatic framing and roofing guns powered by air compressors, and various other hand and pneumatic tools were used to apply a exceptional code accepted new roof. Fall protection as well as the safely securing of gear was used constantly in order to constantly work in a safety driven environment.

As a roofer my main job was the application of shingles on primarily new construction. In addition there involved some projects that inolved the removal of the existing roof in order to replace it with a new roof. Although they were primarily shingle roofs there were also some tile, torch down, metal, and hot tar roofs. This sometimes involved the replacing of wood sheeting and tar paper, which is used as a water or vaper barrier, preliminarily applied before the application of shingles. The roof had to be prepped with measurements and chalk lines previous to the shingle application. Shingles, vents, flashings, ect had to be precisely in order to apply a code accepted warranted roof. Tape measure, chalk line, metal snips, pneumatic framing and roofing guns as well sell as amultitude of power and hand tools were used in order to accomplish the application of a superior final product.

As a pressman's assistant I was in charge of loading and unloading the printing cylinders , via a hydraulic hoist or crane, and preparing them for the next printing jobs. This involved carefully loading them into printing groups. The printing cylinders were chemically etched and easily damaged with careless handling. Color matching the ink in each unit for each job as well as maintaining all aspects of productive job performance as needed according to the pressman operator. This also included a proficient operation of a fork lift to carefully load large 3000 pound rolls of paper, damage free, onto the press as well as the removal of the finished product. This was a company owned by Anheuser-Busch that printed and packaged primarily beer labels for distribution around the world. It was an extremely safety, efficient, and production oriented job.

As a Metalizing Operator I was in charge of the set up and operation of a multi million dollar machine designed to apply a thin coat of metal to large rolls of paper. This was comprised of a series of pumps designed to decompress the density of the air in a chamber to a level that when wire was fed onto clay concave bricks placed in copper clamps that were heated as a cylindrical paper roll is ran through the chamber at about 600 meters per minute. The wire would vaporize adhering to the paper giving it a metallic appearance. This process involved constant monitoring and adjustment in a safety oriented environment that was maintained at a competitive shift production speed. The use of a fork lift was used constantly for the loading and unloading of paper roles into the machine. Constant trouble shooting was used to make the job and final product more efficient.
