Summary
Highly motivated self starting detailed oriented individual looking for a fast paced, friendly, safe and secure work environment with possibility of career advancement.
Major accomplishments Started and ran my own business for 10 years, doing microscopic deburring of aerospace parts. Handled all daily business functions, sales, customer service, materials, shipping and receiving, as well as all government required paperwork related to contracted jobs. Overall it was a good experience but business (mostly gov. related defense ) had been falling off yearly and I was looking to get into a more reliable type of career. Also received a "Supplier Recognition For Excellence" Award by Kaman Aerospace Corp (fuzing/Memory Division) for 100% Quality and 100 % delivery for the year 2006. Functional summary Although I may lack some formal secondary education, my work ethic and organizational skills I learned throughout the years makes me very capable of adapting to many types of jobs.
I enjoy being fast paced and I always strive to improve the task at hand. If you are looking for a highly motivated individual who shows up for work to do the best job possible every day, then we should talk.
