| Work History : Hauschildt Industries (click for details) Electrical Control Panel Shop Foreman, 1986-1998 Baysix Automation (click for details) Electrical Controls and Automation Engineering Technician, 1992-2000 Concurrent with work at Hauschildt Industries Meridian Automotive Systems (click for details) Electrical Controls and Automation Engineering Technician, 2000-2005 |
| Education: Marengo, Illinois High School Graduate 1978 Class rank : 10th of 187 students Extensive college preparation courses in art, humanities and sciences.
Crystal Lake, Illinois Completed courses in illustration, life drawing, and welding.
Additional Work Skills :
Equipment operator : Extensive experience operating line trucks, lift trucks (Hi-Rangers), dump trucks, lift platforms, trenchers, earth saws, back-hoes, hole diggers, cranes and fork lifts while working at Hauschildt Industries as an equipment-operator in addition to my duties as a panel builder.
Metal working : Working in both heavy industry and the panel shop, the skills of welding, cutting, grinding, punching, drilling, tapping and threading various metals were mandatory. The majority of the welding that I've done has been with an AC stick welder using mild steel electrodes although I have also used stainless steel. I am adept at using plasma torches, oxy-acetylene torches, band saws, drill presses, benders, brakes, punches, belt sanders, etc.
SCUBA Diver : Certified advanced open-water diver with C-cards issued by both YMCA and PADI. Experience includes ocean, lake and mine diving. Education in the specialties of navigation, buoyancy control, photography and deep diving. Currently scheduled for certification in mixed gas diving.
Artist : Primarily self-taught sculptor / artist. Sculptures include work with steel, glass, plaster, concrete, epoxies, ceramics and wood. Two-dimensional artwork includes work in photography, pen and ink, pencil, pastels, collage, and paints. I am currently integrating my computer and design skills to develop a web-site featuring a portfolio of my artwork and CAD renderings. The following galleries are a few examples of my past and current work, both as an artist and CAD designer… Architectural Design and Visualization |
