• Shop Foreman and Drafter

  • Aug 2016 - Aug 2021

  I used KeyCreator and AutoCAD to create part drawings for metal fabrication and laser machining. Working in the shop and the office was very beneficial in understanding what it takes from beginning to end to get parts to the customer. Running the Accurpress press brakes, Behringer saw, Muratec punch and all other machines was a great learning experience. Organizing inventory was a challenge but has helped our flow of work. I was appointed shop foreman and became even more instrumental in the flow of work and customer satisfaction. Show less
