• Press Supervisor / Operator

  • Oct 1996 - Jan 2005

  During this time period I covered a lot of ground. In the earlier years I was part of press crew learning the equipment and developing my skill set. I later became a Press Supervisor that allowed me to further my growth. While being a Press Supervisor I was able to grow as a printer and learn a new skill set. I learned how to manage people and work load on small scale. How to make decisions good or bad and learn from them. To be a leader that employees want to follow and except accountability as that leader. Being a Press Supervisor became the foundation of where I am today in the Company. Show less
