Work History
Heavy Equipment Mechanic → Turret Mechanic → IFTE Operator & Maintainer
AMENTUM
01.2024 - 11.2025
- Eliminated diagnostic & operational bottlenecks, expanded shop capacity, trained new technicians, and delivered $9M+ in cost savings by recovering “unrepairable” TAS/CIV systems and creating standardized diagnostic flows.
- Trained and supervised 3 technicians in electrical troubleshooting, NGATS operation, safety compliance, and documentation protocols.
- Increased repair velocity and accuracy by building repeatable diagnostic logic for TAS/CIV modules, reducing rework and test times.
- Identified failure modes not documented in Army TMs—e.g., software mismatches in fire suppression panels—preventing unnecessary parts replacement and restoring fleet readiness.
- Executed advanced targeting and stabilization repairs including resolver/potentiometer calibration on elevation/azimuth drives to below-millimeter precision.
- Troubleshot complex fire control and stabilization faults using schematic interpretation, pin-outs, sensor validation, and cross-system logic analysis.
Automated Site Manager (Kroger DC)
WITRON
08.2022 - 08.2023
- Restored operational stability during a major organizational transition, improving workflow reliability and cross-team coordination.
- Increased labor efficiency by 30% through a shift restructure (10-hour rotations) that removed redundancy and created predictable maintenance–operations handoffs.
- Improved workforce engagement by 25%+ through consistent leadership presence, structured communication, and strengthened accountability pathways.
- Retained $250K+ in institutional knowledge by repositioning the Maintenance Manager into a Process Improvement role.
- Expanded team capacity by ~15% through successful onboarding of Aerotek technicians under challenging labor market conditions.
- Served as primary liaison with Kroger senior leadership, improving KPI transparency and operational alignment.
- Maintained 98%+ operational continuity during an automation server upgrade by coordinating IT, German HQ engineering, and warehouse operations.

TK ELEVATOR (Thyssenkrupp)
01.2019 - 12.2020
- Completed a selective leadership & technical development program across service, repair, modernization, inventory, billing, and business development.
- Prevented $200K+ in financial losses by executing a branchwide PCB audit and rebuilding inventory accuracy.
- Reorganized the warehouse, improving part accessibility for union mechanics and achieving 95%+ inventory accuracy.
- Conducted hundreds of technical surveys for repairs, upgrades, and 10–20+ building high-rise portfolios.
- Spent 6 months in the field supporting hydraulic jack replacements, rope jobs (20–30 stories), machine-room motor swaps, and multi-OEM troubleshooting.
- Completed a year-long ERP asset profiling initiative, updating Oracle/SAP records for the entire elevator portfolio.
- Supported account managers with modernization scopes, repair estimates, and MAX predictive-maintenance software integration.
Operations Supervisor
WINDIGO LOGISTICS (Advantage Logistics / Kroger)
01.2014 - 01.2018
- Managed inbound, outbound, and cross-dock operations in a 600K sq. ft., 24/7 automated distribution center supporting Kroger and SUPERVALU.
- Consistently met or exceeded KPI targets, reducing overtime to
- Turned around underperforming midweek operations, saving $60K+ annually through improved throughput and labor transparency.
- Optimized 3PL routing and delivery schedules, improving transit speed and reducing misroutes.
- Increased employee retention by 10%+ through redesigned onboarding and shortened training (8 → 6 hours).
- Improved productivity and throughput with coding/process changes, achieving a 2% productivity lift, 15% throughput increase, and 3.5% overtime reduction.
- Eliminated 40+ hours of system downtime by integrating a dedicated printing station, removing a major automation bottleneck.
Bradley Fighting Vehicle System Maintainer (91M)
U.S. ARMY
06.2004 - 04.2013
- Maintained and repaired Bradley Fighting Vehicles (M2A2/M2A3), including turret drives, fire control systems, powertrain, electrical subsystems, and hydraulic components.
- Performed advanced diagnostics using schematics, TMs, and hands-on fault isolation across electrical circuits, sensors, actuators, and linkages.
- Conducted resolver and potentiometer calibrations, turret alignment, gun elevation adjustments, and boresighting.
- Troubleshot fire suppression, communications, stabilization, and drivetrain issues in both garrison and field conditions.
- Executed repairs under high-pressure conditions with limited resources during field exercises, gunnery rotations, and deployments.
