What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead engineering and product-development projects where I can improve manufacturing processes, manage scope, schedules and budgets, and collaborate across teams to deliver successful products.

I'm currently a Project Manager at Pelican Products, following project leadership roles at HyAxiom and Governors America. I've managed product development from scope, schedules, budgets, and risk through launch across mechanical and electronic products.

At Governors America, I led the release of a new digital electronic speed controller, introduced a product-development tracking process, and created cash-flow reporting procedures to improve forecast and payable accuracy. I also partnered with purchasing on sourcing strategy and mentored engineers in scheduling, budgeting, ROI, and scope management.

My engineering foundation spans manufacturing, mechanical design, drafting, assembly, welding, metal machining, and process improvement. At Swift Textile Metalizing, I built inspection equipment, automated real-time data collection with SQL and SQL Server, and investigated root-cause failures to implement corrective actions.

Earlier, I designed packaging machinery and pneumatic and electrical systems using SolidWorks and AutoCAD Lite. I bring more than 10 years of hands-on engineering experience, business acumen, and a team-oriented approach to managing fast-paced project portfolios.
