There is a proper tool – and a proper person – for every job. As a production supervisor and former Navy mechanic, I’ve staked my career on that belief. All jobs are easier if you have a good selection of tools – and people -- from which to choose. I excel in teaching people new skills, giving them opportunities to learn new jobs, and cultivating them so they can progress in their careers. The end result is a team of well-rounded, highly skilled, hardworking professionals who take pride in and frankly enjoy their jobs. Imagine having a team that can handle whatever you throw at them. Throughout my career in aircraft manufacturing and as a Navy mechanic and supervisor, I have found that by taking care of its people, any organization can achieve greatness. I have often been decorated, promoted, and named to special projects because of my production management, planning, scheduling, and Quality Assurance expertise. For example, I was among the initial staff designated to learn and train other staff in new aircraft systems, maintenance, procedures, and documentation. I believe my hands-on leadership helped others adapt quickly, which is important when many lives depend on thorough equipment knowledge and the assurance that all equipment is operating as it should. I always appreciate making new connections with other manufacturing professionals, whether to share knowledge or to explore mutually beneficial opportunities. If you have a production management challenge that needs a fresh approach, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
