Summary
I learned to operate a web press in 18 months after having no prior printing experience at Bible & Literature. I became a supervisor at Helton, Inc. in one year after having no experience with injection molding or urethane work. I was able to pastor the Heritage Baptist Church for 7 years after the previous pastors were only there for an average of 2.5 years. These examples demonstrate that I am capable of learning new positions and I am determined to excel in everything that I attempt.

Bindery Worker/ Web Press Operator
Bible & Literature Missionary Foundation
Shelbyville, TN
08.2003 - 08.2022
- Began by working in the bindery department cutting paper for the sheet fed printing presses and cutting out printed jobs. I also ran folders, ran a saddle stitcher trimmer machine and helped on the perfect binder. In 2006 a need presented itself to run the web press so I volunteered and after 18 months of training, I began to run it independently. Normally it takes 2-5 years to do this but I was able to learn it rather easily. Driving forklifts and working in the shipping department loading and unloading trucks were also among my responsibilities.
