Summary

Self-motivated extrusion operator with over 17 years of experience. I've worked with dozens of different materials; multiple types of extruders and I pride myself on being able to successfully troubleshoot problem lines. When I'm making a product, I do it with the customer in mind. Customers expect a well-made, reliable product that suits their needs and it's my job to meet their expectations.

Personal

I have been involved with 3D printing for almost 14 years; both professionally and as a hobby. 3d printing is something that I’m both passionate and knowledgeable about and I’m always looking to learn more. I believe that I can contribute and be an asset from day one.
