Michael Whiston

"IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME." BUT BUILDING CAN'T HAPPEN UNTIL SOMEONE DRAWS IT. For the past 25 years, I’ve been the draftsman who has created the drawings for industry-leading products for medical, aerospace, automotive, power generation, and consumer applications. I have drawn the metal rings that make joint replacement surgeries possible, the parts your car can’t run without, and even the springs and rings inside your kitchen appliances, bicycles and amusement park rides. These pieces often go unrecognized — big and small — and keep our world a functioning and safe place to live in. MECHANICAL LAYOUT AND ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMMING ARE MY WORLD. By creating precise drawings for custom designs and standard catalog parts, I provide a vital link between the idea people — the engineers, innovators and even customers with custom requests — and the manufacturing process that drives revenue to industrial businesses. I’m a detail-oriented worker, and an adept and friendly collaborator with my colleagues in the engineering, operations, marketing, and customer service departments. I believe in loyalty and camaraderie, and I believe in getting the work done right the first time.
