EMPLOYMENT HISTORY     BACK TO TOP

Industry: Maritime Ship Manufacturing 2007-2010
INDUSTRIAL EVIRONMENT SPECIALIST - ALL AMERICAN MARINE. All American Marine, located in Fairhaven, produces exclusive catamaran vessels, yachts, and boats for the tourism industry, passenger ferrying, Coast Guard, recreation, personal, business, fishing business, and more. AAM at times, is able to produce several ships concurrently. I was responsible for keeping the entire facility cleaned and organized. In addition to this, I was responsible for safety. During my employment, we had only one injury resulting in loss of work, not due to safety hazards, but because of a slip and fall. Luckily, our guy recovered well. Part of my safety responsibilities included barricades, covers, warning tape, markings, notes, storage of materials, organizing tools, debris removal, racking, and materials organization. Also, since I worked closely with every employee in multiple departments, I was told that my attitude was great and helped with general morale. The folks on the floor were great and I learned a lot about manufacturing and facilities operations. Additionally, because these vessels are custom fabricated, I was able to learn some engineering concepts. I asked the engineers a lot of questions and continually monitored their progress on projects. I worked closely with the tool room and helped organize tools as well. Tools included specialty items and general hand tools and power tools. Furthermore, we made national news because of a deal with Goldman Saks which brought some pressures, but we handled ourselves well. Of course, I have federal security clearances.

I was finally offered a position with Trident Sea Foods for machine maintenance support, but elected to work at All American Marine listed above.

Other tasks included building the website, procuring component sources, managing finances, corresponding with suppliers and customers, selling on eBay, filling orders online, and the multitudes of other managerial and logistical tasks required to operate a new business on a cash basis during a pilot test viability phase. What was discovered after showing a small profit in less then a year, is that we would need financial backing of no less than $100,000.00 to meet potential production demands.

PERSONAL & SUMMARY     BACK TO TOP
DOB: 1974
Wage History: Roughly $15-$20 / Varied Benefits

I can read, write, type, draw, work with computers, and add numbers, and I am good at it. I have been called a braniac (among other things). I have done some retail product development. I like a lot, so would probably be good at a lot. I understand most computational theory. I understand programming logic. I have an understanding of scientific methodology. I have general knowledge related to life, age, and schooling. I have business knowledge - schooled and practical. I am no stranger to physical labor. I have safely been around heavy construction, used a forklift, scissor lifts, and other equipment as well as some hand tools. I think that an answer can be found for any production problem. I am getting much better at using associations for problem solving. Lastly, I believe that all schooling, labor, and life experiences are deeply entrenched in the dark cranium recesses, folds, and reservoirs of the mind, just waiting to be accessed, tapped, tailored, further developed, refined, and honed. References follow, and I think it is important to consider a couple of things when contacting these references. I have not asked their permission nor contacted them. I made a lot of tuff and critical decisions and displayed inititative. Additionally, I can provide additional references upon request.
