My Greatest Strengths...

The USAF has instilled in me a strong sense of discipline and a fire in my soul to complete the mission within the deadline. For me, there is no greater satisfaction than hearing "Mission accomplished."

I quickly adapt to different methods and processes and overcome most problems that may arise. This comes from years of working with the sharpest minds and the top companies in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, I have worked with most of the Pro-E modules and have mastered several of them.

In addition to exceptional modeling and design skills, I communicate effectively to all levels of the engineering team.
