Summary

I am a highly motivated and ambitious machinist with over 5 years of experience in the industry. While working as an apprentice tool maker in the injection molding industry, I attended Ventura College taking courses in Manufacturing Technology, Drafting/Design, and Welding Technology. I am now an experienced programmer ranging from 3, 4, & 5th axis CNC Mills to CNC Lathes with Live Tooling. Most of my experience has been operating HAAS equipment programming with MASTERCAM. I enjoy working in this industry and have a true admiration for skilled trades. I always strive to improve machining strategies, cycle times, workholding, fixturing, tooling and my overall skills. I work well with others, enjoy sharing knowledge/ideas and teaching others as well.
