I've also had the opportunity to partner with several machine builders, mold makers, material suppliers, and other global industry professionals to round-out my career. I have lead teams with disciplines in design, material development, tooling, metrology, product/project engineering, quoting, packaging, program management, renewable energy, computer simulation, and R&D.
