I started my career immediately after graduating Hamburg Area High School working with machines for a local textile company. The machines I worked with were dryers designed to heat set fabric. My duties included mixing chemicals and recording the length, width, and density of the fabric as it was processed and maintaining the machines. I then pursued working at a plastic manufacturing company while creating and expanding my businesses. I worked at Dove Plastics as an operator and I learned the maintenance of industrial extrusion machines. This job involved operating and performing maintenance on the extrusion machines, utilizing CNC machines and other industrial equipment. This was fruitful in gaining experience in hydraulic maintenance, hydraulic functions, and relay systems. I've since enrolled at DeVry University to further my education in technology and electronic components as an electronics engineer. I was a photovoltaic technician for a short time and have since started a career at Penske Truck Leasing as an electronics maintenance technician repairing and programming modules, and assisting with various extensive projects with the engineering team.
