Work History

CNC Machinist and Engineer

TKM Performance LLC.
06.2019 - 04.2024
  • Stayed current on industry trends and advancements in machining technology, applying new knowledge to daily work for continuous growth and development.
  • Partnered closely with quality control teams to identify areas where improvements could be made within production processes.
  • Exceeded production goals consistently by focusing on effective time management strategies while maintaining a strong attention to detail.
  • Devised and implemented process improvements to enhance production.
  • main focus to engineer, design, program, and manufacture Prototype and concept parts for race engines. Then after processing and manufacturing, Installing the parts with the machining required for installation in low tolerance atmosphere .0002" or closer.
  • I have designed Main caps, cam caps, valvetrain components, racecar and mounting structures for oiling systems and transmission and drivetrain related parts for drag racing industry.
  • Utilizing Fusion360 Software in order to do most CAD/CAM processing.
  • Also have created many processes and alterations to existing hydraulic, pneumatic, cooling and Fueling systems in order to create more efficient use of existing parts and materials.

Crane and Hoist Technician

Engineered Systems Inc
04.2018 - 06.2019

Inspection and maintenance of over head hoist systems.

Main job priority was doing inspections on existing system set ups and verifying the standard of the machinery within company specs. When the need was there maintenance and routine operations were made on the mechanical and electrical systems of the cranes and hoists.


Most of the duration of this job i was an assistant/apprentice, but working on problem solving and system analysis with my partner the whole.


Brick Mason

Parks Masonry LLC.
06.2015 - 06.2019

Crew member and leader for a masonry construction group.

Group i worked with specialized in a small team of 6 working on Masonry to lay foundations for many homes, and veneer work in brick and rock for homes in a residential setting.


Worked closely with a small group to allow us to come together to most efficiently get the tasks at hand done within the best results possible for the time.


On rare occasions working on commercial sites with larger crews to get larger projects done in the commercial environment.

Accomplishments

The Car that i Built between 2021-2023 was custom build and setup by myself personally. Systems and components in the engine and EFI system done with my own ability to learn with small amounts of help from outside sources. I took a 2014 mustang apart, build an entire race engine during my time at TKM including engine machining components alteration, custom part creation and utilization on the mechanical structure of the block and valve train parts with custom machining and programming. Engine assembly, transmission built by me and suspension and drivetrain set up by me. Aftermarket Fueltech EFI system installed and wired from scratch by me alone, setup and Tuned/Calibrated by me over 1000 wheel Horse power with an 88MM turbo and a Coyote engine.

Engine building/Tuning

Self taught and learned engine building from many years with my Father that's a mechanic in the Small block ford type set ups. After working at TKM Performance i started working with Coyote platforms much more. Installed and tuned my own EFI system with small amounts of help from Fueltech USA support and Kevin at TKM for some basic tuning skills before just using my own car and engine to teach myself. Previously also tuning and altering the Stock Ford ECU in the car that was stock.
