  • Jun 2018 - Present

  Supervise 15+ employees on the Production within a Sheet Metal Shop that Primarily works on building Medical Carts, Dispensary Cabinets and Pass Through Cabinets for the Medical Industry. From Raw Material to a turn key product with the companies own software design for function. The Company is currently working on a software plan to make all of their products be able to communicate with each other for easier process flow within the Hospitals and Clinics their products are in. I am currently working towards helping implement a Lean Manufacturing mindset into the Production floor. We are doing our best to eliminate waste by nesting on the laser and punches, staging at the press brakes to minimize tool changes taking down set-up times and many other small projects along the way. The company does dedicate most of its resources to maintain production on their own products though we do have contract Manufacturing come through. Show less



Texas Metal Specialty Company

• Shop Foreman

  • Oct 2014 - Jun 2018

  Supervised 10+ employees in a Job Shop Environment. Over looking complete Production of the shop floor and taking full hands on on all Prototype parts that came in. The company was a smaller "Mom and Pop" style company that would take in all kinds of work. Sometimes we would get prints from Customers and other times we would only get a cut out from cardboard with the Customer saying "I outlined a similar part onto this, can you make me some more?" and we would even get parts that were 30% rusted away asking if we could make a new part and having to use our best judement was the missing portion used to look like. It was a company that I was able to gain a lot of experience on Machinery and the Production of a shop floor. Over the years of working there and gaining the knowledge to operate all of the machines on their floor I worked my way to be the Shop Foreman. As Shop Foreman I made sure the floor maintained production on all of the products and also took the Hands on for all Prototype builds. I would personally work the parts all the way through their shop. Show less



BABECO., INC.

• United States

• Fabricator

  • May 2011 - Aug 2014

  I got hired on as a CNC AMADA machine operator. I started off as what some call a "Button Pusher". After 6 months I had a better understanding over the Mills and Lathes they had me running and I was doing small changes in the program to maintain tolerances and doing the needed tool changes. I moved into the Fabrication shop after about 10 months, I wanted to move over with my starting knowledge of welding. I went to their Plasma/Oxy Acetylene table cutting parts. Then went into being a Welder for them welding on all different industries. It was a Primarily Oil and Gas production. Though we did have medical and aero space products come through the shop. I chose to leave the company for relocation purposes. Show less
