With over 32 years at Boeing, I've honed my expertise in aerospace manufacturing and machining, demonstrating adaptability and a strong work ethic. My leadership and communication skills complement my technical proficiency, ensuring quality, safety, and cost-efficiency in every project.
Throughout the years I have been faced with many complex challenges and always found success. I am quick to adapt and learn new things. I have been trained to think there is a better, safer, and more cost effective way of doing most tasks.
In my over 32 years with Boeing I had multiple job titles and responsibilities at numerous locations in Washington state. The majority of my career I was an assembly mechanic or a machine operator. My role as a mechanic included : drilling, riveting, assembly, installation, wiring, sealing and plumbing. I worked on sub assemblies and the aircraft itself in Renton and also out in the field in Seattle. As a machine operator I operated NC routers, ply cutters and water jets. My final role was operating a high speed skin mill
Delivered aerospace metal alloys to multiple customers throughout King, Pierce and Snohomish counties, using flatbed trucks rated at 16,000-28,000 GVW. When not on the road I operated an automated Do-all horizontal band saw and a 24" carbide blade aluminum plate saw. Also was required to do all warehouse duties including: shipping/receiving, order filling, forklift operations, and customer service.
