Connect the people, program, and plan.

Manufacturing judgment
that reaches beyond the cycle.

I’m building on hands-on shop leadership and technical experience to contribute in project and shop-floor management.

  • Manufacturing planning, DFM review, and routing
  • Shop lead experience and machinist mentoring
  • Fixture strategy, production readiness, and cross-functional support
