OBJECTIVE

Seeking opportunities where I can use my Engineering skills, design talent, and business management acumen to develop solutions that will be innovative in the market place, industry sales leaders, and profit generators for my Customers.

Operate a rapid prototyping service bureau using fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing for various clients such as Lowry Industries. Reducing client's time to market for new products by half, as well as reducing delevopment costs by as much as two-thirds.

Engineered, designed, and manufactured computerized mat cutters (CMCs) for the Art Industry.Provide technical support and onsite service for owners of new, used, and discontinued CMCs as well as provide custom programs for CMC owners nation-wide. Designed a new cutting bit and router system upgrade for the MatWRITER CNC router, allowing the customer to cut features 30% smaller and with more detail.

Engineered, designed and developed business software and operating procedures for a client with a manufacturing office in California and sales office in Oregon. Designed and developed business web sites (i.e. Heritage Picture Frames).

Engineered, designed and developed a custom lift mechanism for pulpits used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This lift uses a unique safety switch to prevent damage to the lift by mis-use as well as eliminating annual maintence programs, reducing operating costs and improving functionality.

Expanded the company’s market from pneumatics and hydraulics to also include a full line of automation products. Engineered and manufactured various customer driven projects using pneumatic, mechanical, and electronic components. Projects included components for DNA analysis equipment and components for a Critscan medical device. Responsible for phone systems (including installation of voice over IP), cells phones, all computers (desktops, laptops, and servers), security, remote access, and web development. Reduced IT expenses by $15,000 annually while improving equipment, services, and communications. Managed operations personnel in Denver, CO and Salt Lake City, UT offices.

Engineered, designed and developed ALL aspects of two complete product lines of computerized mat cutting machines (CMC) using pneumatics, mechanical actuators, electronic sensors, motion controllers, stepper and servo motors. One product line, called the MatWRITER, was a 3-axis CNC router. The other product line, called the Eclipse, was a 2-1/2 axis CNC knife blade. Created and set-up national distributor network. Worked trade shows. Installed equipment, serviced equipment, and trained customers worldwide. Managed all sub-contractor and supplier relations including price negotiation and buying. Managed a crew of technical support and assembly personnel, a Mechanical Engineer, and a Software Engineer. (Now owned by Wizard International.)

Engineered, designed and developed ALL aspects of a product line of hydro-dynamic magazine bar feeders used in high production and low volume machine shops, using pneumatics, hydraulics, electronic sensors, and PLCs. Managed assembly personnel, intern Engineers, and supply channel.
