Summary
I would describe myself as a resourceful Operations Lead known for high productivity, great quality, and expert in my craft. Over the last 8 years I have moved up from a fabricator to a CNC programmer and Operator to a fabrication manager to an operations lead. I have worked for 4 different branches within Regal Plastics over extended periods of time with several different GMs and OMs to improve their ticket flow, product quality, and establish strong SOPs while creating new, trained, and enthusiastic teams. My colleagues would testify that I am practical in how I conduct myself in my work and those that I lead. I have found that I work best with others of similar ambitions and intuition in regard to the projects at hand.
