Prior to joining Delphi Automotive, I served as Project Manager and Sr. Mechanical Designer for Kohol System Inc. (Robotic Systems House) in Centerville, Ohio duration, 3/1981-5/1986. I have traveled both domestically and in Canada in the performance of my duties with the above-mentioned companies and posses a current U.S passport.

I attended Sinclair community College/Wright State University thru my third year in BSME. I have 25 years workplace experience utilizing most recently, MS Office, 2D AutoCAD thru version R2016, 3D SolidEdge ST4 and GD&T capable. I have limited work experience with Unigraphics UGNX7.5 Teamcenter. I plan to add 3D Solidworks in the future. (Greater work experience detail available upon request.)

 

I am seeking a full time position and permanent future with a quality organization.  By applying my talent, training, experience and work ethic, I will prove a valuable asset to your company. You will find me to be a dedicated professional who strives to achieve superior results.
