Summary

I am a tradesman. I have worked.

With what some may call a Master Machinists was trained in machine tool technology. I worked at a manufacturing plant Where I was able to learn from amazing tradesmen of old As well as current.. I was able to apply my Machinist capabilities to this Position and started to engineer parts and fabricate new pieces which would give a machine the ability to run using autonation rather than by hand. . I was also able to repair parts for discontinued machines that you cannot find the parts for anymore. I have a very good understanding of how machinery works.

In certain concepts that go along with it.. I have trained under brilliant men who have been kind enough To share their knowledge with me which is truly a gift.. Bottom line there's always a way to get it done.
