Bio
Erl Haapanen
Pete worked directly for me for a period of 2.5 years. Pete brought a great deal of organization to a machining department that was struggling before Pete came on board. He worked well with his peers as well as senior management. He significantly increased the productivity of the department while gaining the respect of his subordinates. I would recommend Pete to any company looking for a solid team player who gets results in a very short period of time.

Pete practiced patience and understanding in developing entry-level operators, while mentoring skilled CNC Technicians. He is a true professional who exacts the best from the people he supervises, while maintaining trusting relationships with peers and senior management. He can be counted on to get the team to the 'finish line', exuding a passion for operational efficiency, while maintaining high standards of craftsmanship/excellence.
