Work History
Production Associate
Collins Aerospace, RTX Corporation
06.2024 - Current
- In my position as a production associate, I am currently working on the multisensor section of the gyroscopes being assembled and built in our department. I am currently certified in 3 of the 7 jobs on the line. My 3 certifications are shafts and rotors, electrical testing, and x-ray testing. I am building a shaft and rotor as part of the motor. I solder, cement, clean, & inspect the parts for efficacy. I also change the filter on an Ultrasonic cleaning machine once per month as a preventive maintenance for the production line I work on. I learn new roles quickly as I am currently being trained on 3 other jobs on the line.
Telecommunication Technician
PTS Providers Inc.
08.2010 - Current
- I install, service, repair, collect coin, & maintain payphones in New England. I am responsible for removing payphones & equipment such as pedestals & enclosures, as needed. I have traveled a few times for the Company, to perform services in Florida, Washington, & New York as needed by the Company for special project work. I am responsible for Brinks coin deposits, as needed, throughout the year. I have experience with low voltage wiring, supplying dial tone from the dmarscs of businesses, to the payphone locations. I also have experience with wireless unit installations, another form of supplying dial tone to the phones. One of our special projects was installing wifi to the Greenway Park in the City of Boston. I was a technician for that project & have some experience with wifi. Finally, I have a company truck I use for the job, which I maintain & have repairs performed as needed.
Owner
Fastrack, LLC
10.2001 - Current
- I own a business that I run part time on days off from my full time job. I use a cargo trailer to travel to Automotive Dealerships, performing small autobody repairs on plastic bumpers, mirrors, moldings, doors, fenders, etc.
Inside Machinist
General Dynamics, Electric Boat
07.2023 - 05.2024
- I was being trained on a 5-axis Hurco Mill. I went through the CT Pipeline program for 7 weeks before starting at EB. I received a certificate upon completion. About 5 months into working here, EB sent me back to school for a 7 week, advanced machinist CNC Programming course, receiving a certificate upon completion on 4/05/24. I wasn’t confident on going on my own as an Inside Machinist & found running a machine too boring for my liking, so when the opportunity came up closer to home, I decided to leave. I believe it was a mistake. I’m hoping for another chance to work as a Marine Mechanic/ Outside Machinist. I feel this would be a good fit for me and I would be an asset for years to come.
District Manager
Expressway Lube Centers
05.1994 - 09.2001
- I was responsible for the operation of 5 quick oil change centers in CT & RI. I was responsible for the profit & loss of each location, doing all the hiring for each location. My store were always run well, kept clean, & exceeded sales goals year to year. My previous jobs were as a Manager of Lube Centers. I managed the Groton Quick Lube for about 3 years, before being bought out by Expressway Lube Centers. Previous to that, I managed Jiffy Lube, in Norwich, CT for 4 years.
