Additional Information

I have years of experience in injection molding and everything that goes into it. I started at the very bottom at 17 years old working at Hi-Tech Engineering working at night while finishing school during the day. I came to Deutsch as a machine operator and worked every single day to learn as much as I could about every part of the process and did almost every job in molding that could be had. From maintenance and troubleshooting on the injection molding machines (all the injection molding presses with an emphasis on Engel) to various automation cells and assembly machines to breaking down and repairing injection molds. I carried that over into being a successful injection molding consultant and working to fix other companies issues until deciding to serve my country in the US Army. After being injured during my time of service I worked at Goodman as an injection molding engineer until the company closed the location and relocated outside the United States. I am a 100% Permanent and Total Disabled Veteran now who is now looking to rejoin the work force and offer my services again to an industry I am passionate about.
