Accomplishments

  • Resolved product issue. Bechtel made a rule that only 6" grinders with stainless guards could be used onsite. Dewalt couldn't meet our need after the first 6 months. I verified that it was just the issue of the color and not the stainless material required and proposed that we use high heat silver paint on the existing guards that came with the grinders. This was the protocol for the next 2 years of the NAG OR Project, saving the project in excess of $75,000.00, More than 5000 6" grinders were purchased through the duration of the project.
  • Supervised and trained a team of 9 receiving members as a tool tethering team per Python product training.


crafts, sewing, reading, fishing

I find each of these activities to be therapeutic. Whether I'm painting, sewing, working with beads or found objects, I enjoy the quiet reflective time. If I'm fishing, it's only quiet and reflective if I'm not catching anything. If I'm reeling them in, it's a little bit more rowdy! Lol!
