Summary

After a succesful career in Business Management I desire a change in career, and wish to return to my roots. During my High School years I excelled at shop class where we learned drafting, basics of machining metals and woodworking. My Brother-In-Law owned a custom woodworking and cabinet shop where I learned how to build and install cabinets and custom molding after school and on weekends.

Upon graduation from High School I enrolled in a Technical College majoring in Computer Aided Design and Drafting. Courses in Manual Machining, CNC, Programming, Precision Tools, were among the many I excelled at.

Over the years I have continued to build and enhance my skillsets by taking courses in welding, blacksmithing, manufacturing operations, and many more.

Home Depot and Lowes are considered "working warehouses" where customers shop among shelves stacked high with merchandise that is placed and retrieved with various lift equipment. I have well over 20 years experience in all aspects of the operation of these big box retailers from receiving, stocking, front end, and cash office.
