Mechanical Design Engineer (1997-2003).
Designed new equipment. Determined market size,
price point, start-up costs and manufacturing
capabilities. Performed prototype layout,
production, assembly, testing and
documentation.
Created new market and revenue stream by
inventing unique ABC Bulk Weighing
System that was 10% of cost and fraction of
size of any existing system (US patented).
Led project to reengineer CBT sampler/treater

Engineering Change Order (ECO) system to track
and control changes to engineering
documents/product design.
Invented RPG Sampler that filled previously
unaddressed void in market for samplers.
Technical Illustrator (1994-1995).
Promoted for visualization skills and overall
knowledge of product lines.

Provided layout/design of equipment, detailed
drafting, customer approval drawings,
electrical schematics and tune up of existing
machines/drawings.
Reduced scrap parts and materials 75% by
establishing drafting/engineering standards and
providing documentation changes.
Reduced inventory and simplified production by
standardizing components among machines.
