Started as a setup in injection molding while I attended Technical school for tooling.

In 2004 moved to the tool room where I covered the floor, fixing any issues with the tools while in the press if possible.

As I learned more I was part of building 56 new tools for T-H Marine out of Huntsville.

Did everything from squaring up the steel, mapping out and making ejector plates and backup plate, making ejector pins, horn pins, core pins. Was responsible for spotting everything in on the new builds, and touching up any issues we may have had during the trial.

In 2009 was moved to Supervisor over the tool room and then spent 2 years as production manager over the injection mold shop.
