SUMMARY
An experienced professional who has led multi-discipline project teams from research and development through complete product life cycle in a hands-on environment. Strengths include conceptualizing new products using customer input while keeping feasibility and manufacturing costs at the forefront to maximize returns. Over the years I have developed a broad range of process and design knowledge to adapt quickly to any challenge.
