years of professional experience

Hardworking and well-versed in keeping components running at peak levels to produce high-quality precision-machined products. Comfortable working alone or with team members to identify and resolve defects. Expert approach to tackling maintenance and inspection tasks, and increasing personal efficiency. Bringing an amazing work ethic and positive attitude to the table, along with the ability to self-motivate under any circumstance. Employers will find that I am a versatile individual with a positive attitude and a "safety first" mindset.

Can operate a forklift, and measure using depth micrometers, O.D micrometers, calipers, and plug gauges. Will work safely in both hot/cold climates and am able to endure high amounts of strenuous activity. If there is something I am not familiar with, I will master it quickly!
