PERSONAL QUALITIES I am personable and work well as a team member which includes other Engineering disciplines as well as Manufacturing and Production Personnel. I encourage questioning, I believe there is no such thing as a 'stupid question, ' so if someone does not understand something I welcome questions and if I can not answer them immediately I will find an answer and convey it to them. I am a hands on engineer, comfortable working with hand tools and various shop power tools. Willing to pitch in when the 'all hands on deck' call goes out.
