• At Nestlé I worked on a bottling line as a machine operator for approximately a month. A mechanic position came open and I applied, tested for, and received that maintenance position. I was a line mechanic taking breakdown calls and returning the machine back to production capability. I would work on everything from production lines to facility maintenance, to support equipment like chillers, compressors, and plant water wells. I did that job for 4 years then was promoted to maintenance technician a-level. In this role I am in charge of all aspects of maintenance on two high speed bottling lines. I do everything from basic wrench turning to analysis of breakdowns to find the root cause of that failure. I have two mechanics that work directly under me and together we keep our machines running on track with plant goals.

• At Cadillac Casting I worked two years as a machine operator in the core room. Those machines produced sand cores for the production of ductile iron castings. Production and safety goals were paramount and I met them consistently. A mechanic position came opened and I tested for and was awarded that position. I worked night shift where I was responsible for maintaining two pieces of production equipment. We basically rebuilt everything on those machines in an eight hour shift.

• At Mark Pyne Builders I worked in every aspect of building and remodeling. We did new construction, remodeling, roofing, siding, plumbing and heating. We did commercial as well as residential work.

• At Bernie Johnson Trucking I was a road construction laborer. I did everything from dig ditches with a shovel to operate loaders and excavators. A laborer is a jack of all trades. We did basic maintenance on machines. Greasing, checking fluids, pressure in tires, and checked the overall condition of the machines. We traveled all over the state and worked daylight to dark 5 days a week and 10 hours on Saturday.
