Summary

I am a highly skilled Auxiliary Technician with extensive experience gained as a Machinist Mate in the US Navy. I have gained hands-on experience in pump and machinery operation, maintenance, and complex repairs. Throughout my career, I’ve consistently met production deadlines while delivering high-quality results. My experience also extends beyond technical skills, having worked part-time in sales at GNC and Lowe’s, where I developed strong customer service and communication abilities.

In addition to my experience, I hold certifications in power plant operation, auxiliary systems, and firefighting systems, which have equipped me with a deep understanding of plant safety and system optimization. Through regular maintenance, testing, and water treatment, I’ve honed my ability to improve equipment performance and prevent issues before they arise.

My communication skills play a crucial role in my ability to work effectively within teams, resolve problems, and ensure operational efficiency. I’m well-versed in engineering principles associated with the likes of control gear and a range of pump types, including centrifugal and piston pumps to name a few, which help me maintain a high standard of safety and reliability in all operations.
