EXPERIENCE
Over the years I have worked with a number of companies in different industries, performing a range of duties with countless responsibilities. Descriptions for every engineering position I have held are below. Also included are additional summaries of my work experience at companies where I held more than one position. The downloadable version of my resumé is abbreviated to summarize only the past 10 years of my work experience.
USFilter
While at USFilter, I held three different positions. The last two overlapped in both time and function due to the need for continuity between the two roles. The result of holding both simultaneously was that communication lag and other inefficiencies were greatly reduced or eliminated.
