Moved a small machine shop inside P.T.I, including a lathe, grinder, Bridgeport, etc. and was doing tooling for work for contacts that I had made in North America. I was offered a position at P.T.I to take over Quailty Manager Position as well as design and build the gages for production on all manufactured parts and make some of the perishable details mounted in the machine tools. I was also on call 24 hours for emergency break downs. From 2017-2026 I was the only tool maker that was employed at this location.

Quality tech duties include incoming inspection, first piece, final, generate on all necessary final inspection reports, run several cmm's also do alot of hard checks on surface plate on dimensions+.0001 inch issue gaging to the shop floor.

Leased 700 square feet of floor space from a friend that had extra floor space in his machine shop. I moved basic equipment in mills, grinders, lathes and started doing r&d work. with my customer base the type of focus was on reducing cost and increasing quality by designing specialized fixtures and in process gaging on large quantity production runs. I also was a manufacturing rep for all the perishable details on my fixtures and gages.

A large supplier of components for the stamping industry, mostly, automotive 200,000,000 annual sales set up 5000 square foot warehouse in Danley's r&d and engineering building for the nitrogen line. this was our assembly and ship to customer hub. my duties included setting up an area to tests all Danley's components at one location. Die sets, punches, springs, in die tapping units, pins and bushings, etc. I was elected by our engineering department to become our representative on the naams committee meeting once a month with engineers from Fords, Gm, Chryslers to agree on metric design to all standard components they were going to put in their spec's standards. worked the booth at all major trade shows in U.S and Mexico for technical support I also did alot of outside sales and service calls with distributers U.S Mexico and Canada.
