Please let meintroduce myself, resume (attached). What is not on my resume is that I am 42years old, have been working in vastly different industries at different levelssince I was 16 years old.

I started out,like many, in the Fast Food industry; 5 years of this gave me a permanent hobbyof cooking. I spent time in the U.S. Army, in a combat unit, though I did notdeploy in-theater; this time gave me pride in our country and knowledge of theimportance of proper chain of command.

I studied andattained license for Interstate Commerce as an OTR truck driver; 5 years ofthis gave me permanent insight into infrastructure regulation and logistics.



After the first18 years of my working life, it was suggested that I pursue education inEngineering Management. Even though I have held positions of management in thepast, and there have been others that also mentored me toward management, it isthe structure that leading companies are based on, that supported my decisionto take action.



So, here I am 26years of hands in the dirt experience and BS Mechanical Engineering and MSEngineering Management.



At yourconvenience, I would be honored to meet with you to see if you can put myskills to work.



Career Goal:



Highlymotivated, decisive and results-oriented individual seeking a full-timeposition as an Engineering Manager. My main concerned is with the applicationof engineering principles to the planning and operational management ofindustrial and manufacturing operations. I am prepared to plan and manage suchoperations. I have instruction in accounting, engineering economy, financialmanagement, industrial and human resources management, industrial psychology,management information systems, mathematical modeling and optimization, qualitycontrol, operations research, safety and health issues, and environmentalprogram management.



Qualification Summary:



Many mentorshave directed me to this path and, I am ready to successfully lead engineeringpersonnel and projects. I have shown capability toward either functionalmanagement or project management; leading technical professionals who areworking in the fields of product development, manufacturing, construction,design engineering, industrial engineering, technology, production, or anyother field that employs personnel who perform an engineering function.
