Summary
I have worked in many fast paced and collaborative environments that also required a large amount of attention to details. All of these have been new environments where I faced new challenges and had to overcome them to succeed. Because of my eagerness to learn in these situations I have built on my skills like Teamwork, adaptiveness, and ability to asses myself for what I need to improve.

Work History
Roman Manufacturing
Wyoming, MI
06.2024 - Current
- At Roman manufacturing I operated and performed setups primarily on Brother and Hurco 3 axis mills. This involved changing tooling and setting up new tooling as well as downloading programs to switch parts being made. All parts would have to be checked against a blueprint which had measurements to go along with the spec ranging to plus or minus 10 thousandth down to plus or minus 1 thousandth. It would also sometimes be necessary to make changes to the programs with things like locations and offsets or pecks and feedrates.
Machinist
Robert Bosch Fuel Systems
Grand Rapids, MI
10.2022 - 06.2024
- At Robert Bosch I operated and performed maintenance and change overs on several machines. These machines included DMG mills, Impco three hole drills, Leblond lathes, several grinders, Ann Arbor EDM, ECM, and others. While working with these machines I was in charge of performing changes that included taking apart the machines to perform maintenance and repairs as well as indicating all parts as needed on the machines. I worked along the engineer for the area to fix the G code and rebuild the Ann Arbor machines.
Gootjes Builders
Caledonia, MI
08.2021 - 10.2022
- At Gootjes Builders my experience included working in several different forms of construction. I mainly worked on trimming and installations of interior items such as cabinets and doors. I also got experience with framing and other types of structure building such as decks. We mainly did remodels and additions with one new house.
Operations Manager Chicago Hub Chic 604
Chicago, IL
09.2020 - 08.2021
- In the Chicago hub I was in charge of load area 4 and about 20 to 25 package handlers. One of my main responsibilities is to verify trailer load and keep the trailer pure with the correct packages. Along with that is ensuring that packages are loaded on the correct type of trailer and cutting the trailers at correct times to ensure they dispatch on time. This job also came with the responsibility of training package handlers and new hires that come onto the dock. This would also come with having to make write ups to hold package handlers accountable for load rates and attendance.
