Skillset
Areas and Hands on
Manufacturing
Master Pattern Maker: Includes wood, metals and plastics from design, layout to finished matchplates. Designed built patterns ranging from aerospace, military to ornamental finials and mailbox parts in the site development scope. From simple to complex. Specializing in hand tool useage, carving, machining, lathe turning, finishing, manual drafting , 3d modeling, blue print reading, estimating, material aquisition
Foundry & Metalurgy: Check this link its still active: http://secastings.com/
On the Tour page you can see a slideshow of a great deal of my work, The foundry, patterns in process, parts I have built and more. You can even still
Download the PDF catalog. All parts within this catalog were engineered or re engineered by myself.
All facets, built 2 foundries from the ground up. Specializing in the oil process of sandcasting. Mainly geared towards aluminum and bronze ornamental industries, some areospace and military applications. I was tasked with assembling all aspects of the process from team to equipment. This was the main reason I was hired by Creative Mailbox was to impliment the metals program. To get away from dependency on other sources and bring manufacturing controls in house on all cast aluminum parts. Growth was seen at the 125th percentile after completion for four straight years.
Quality Assurance: Worked 1 year in Tampa Brass and aluminum's state of the art machine shop as a first article inspector using all the modern CMM,Mics,heighth guages etc.an ISO 9001 shop. Later I was tasked at Creative Mailbox and Sign Design to engineer, author and impliment the company wide Post Master Approval Quality assurance program for their custom lines of cast mailboxes.
Global Imports & Communication: Tasked with all Asian manufacturing relationships and communications of all design, engineering, communications, prototyping, shipping, fund transfers and quality related aspects of the importing process. This was one of my chief responsibilities while at Enterprise and throught my entire time at Creative Mailbox Designs.
Design and Engineering: Engineering and design skills are part of the day to day at most manufacturing facilities, however I am especially fortunate to have been given a wide freedom to be creative at my last two employs especially. Hence my title Creative Process Engineer at Creative Mailbox Designs LLC. Strong Digital art and design abilities with a focus on simplicity.
Managment: Managing people has been a part of the last few jobs Ive held in different levels. Mainly teams and crews. Building a team or assembling a team and then turning them over to others. Often times this meant starting a new department
to do the same or adding more onto what was already established. Of the many things I have learned over the years I think the science or art of communication has to be the most valuable to really master for great things to happen within a group or a company. I have also completed two seperate full courses of Dale Carnegies managment and leadership training programs
Some points of enjoyment in my career: I was quite often times tasked with the weird and out of the ordinary projects, probably because of my other than usual exposures. I was especially proud of the sub reflector project at Tampa Brass. My lathe turning skills enabled us to save thousands of dollars building it as a sand casting and machining it, rather than turning each one from billet. We found many ways to impliment this in future projects. Another project I was proud to have also led on was the pattern for the new Salvador Dali museum in St Pete. They wanted to cast his signature into the wall and I was tasked to build the patterns. That was an honor to have been a part of that state of the art building project. I added a few pics to the Things to see page.
Other Attributes: Strong Computer Literacy -Have my own tools -Have many industry contacts -Have own transportation.
