Skils

• Great work ethic; requires no supervision
• ISO & Quality control experience
I am skilled in the use of hand tools and finishing procedures. I am skilled in quality control with ISO knowledge from the 26 years of service at the Eastman Kodak Company.
I have supervisory and teaching experience, a strong work ethic, can work well individually or as a team member, and I am quick to learn new skills.
Sailing and the maritime field has inspired my fascination with composite fabrication. I have a USCG 50 ton Captain's license with sailing and towing endorsements, and was hired as the captain of boat that sailed over 4500 nautical miles in the Great Lakes in 2008. My other passion is Karate, which I have taught for over 15 years and gives me a great respect for discipline and hard work. Jan or Meade Gougeon from Gougeon Brothers West System Epoxy located in Bay City MI, would vouch for my experience and work ethic. Thank you for your time.
