Summary

Have a broad background in all areas of manufacturing. Have been hands on in the machining and repairing areas as well as building top level final assemblies. Have recently taken on lots of composite and filament winding work to work through processes to repair the product while improving the process with the quality being the highest end factor. Have been very fortunate to work directly with engineers to build tools and make everything run much smoother.
