WORK EXPERIENCE
PACIFIC COAST MARINE, Lynwood, WA 2014 to 2015
Mechanical Designer
Designed windows, doors and hatches for Commercial, Yacht and Recreational uses.
(Please note this was initially a two month contract position which was extended to ten months and
concluded after engineering functions were consolidated to Gold Beach, OR.)
Designed new and replacement windows, doors and hatches for weather-tight and watertight
service.
Developed configurable parametric Solidworks master models, shop and approval drawing.
These models are then used as the template for new orders, significantly shortening the required
engineering while maintaining product standards.
KVICHAK MARINE, Seattle, WA 2011 to 2014
Marine Designer
Performed mechanical and electrical systems and structural design work.
Designed all electrical wire harnesses for the 32ft Coast Guard Trailerable Patrol Security Boat
with a high degree of accuracy, resulting in significant savings over the life of the 50 boat
contract. Designs for prior contracts often required as many as 5 boat builds to correct all errors
in the electrical wire harnesses.
Developed 3DVia presentations for use on the shop floor. These presentations were organized
by system as well as build sequence and increased efficiency and easy access compared to the
printed drawings previously used.
ARMSTRONG MARINE, Port Angeles, WA 2010 to 2011
Marine Designer
Developed the systems schematics and structural details for the Navy Diver Support Boats.
Developed all structural and systems drawings and documentation for the Technical Data
Package (TDP) required by contract for the United States Navy.

WESTPORT SHIPYARD, Port Angeles, WA 2003 to 2010
Marine Designer
Developed weldment structures, mechanical and electrical systems for production as well as
customer changes. The Mechanical systems included Hydraulic, Steering and Stabilization, Fuel,
Propulsion, Exhaust, HVAC and Plumbing. Also worked on Electrical systems and Lamination.
Redesigned the Sprinkler System replacing over 175 pipe fittings with a single manifold,
reducing costs and enhancing the appearance of the installation.
Combined two separate Water Maker Systems into a single enclosure saving valuable space in
the equipment room. The new configuration could be completely assembled in the shop and
installed in the boat in fewer hours.
Performed all engineering revisions required to change manufacture of new marine gear with a
down angle of only 7 degrees, rather than the original 10 degrees. This project required new
engine and gear foundations as well as new custom mounts for the marine gear.
Participated in numerous Sea Trials monitoring the performance of Propulsion, Fuel, Steering,
Hydraulic, Mechanical and Plumbing Systems and resolving any issues that would arise.
DEARBORN MID-WEST CONVEYOR, Kansas City, KS 2001 to 2002
Industrial Designer
Designed and detailed conveyor systems and equipment for the Automotive Industry.
Designed standardized conveyor system components.
ACT-1 ENGINEERING, Gladstone, MO 1999 to 2001
Project Engineer
Directed Sub Contractors in the execution of multi-million dollar projects for this First Tier Supplier to
the Automotive Industry. Designed in-house equipment, systems and structural steel as necessary.
GENESYS CORP., Lee’s Summit, MO 1997 to 1999
Lead Engineer
Responsibilities similar to those at RM Taylor (see below) but provided the opportunity to work on
Larger Projects in both the Automotive and Fiberglass Insulation Industry.

RM TAYLOR CORP., Kansas City, MO 1995 to 1997
Mechanical Designer
Designed Automotive and Fiberglass Insulation Industry Conveyor Systems, Structural Steel and
Related Equipment including Flat Top, Two Strand, Power and Free (Overhead and Inverted),
Chain-On Edge and Fiberglass Forming Sections.
Participated in Field Engineering and Installation teams. Performed Engineering support to
Ironworkers and Millwrights in the shop as well as in the field.
Performed project management for small projects.
Performed Conveyor System Layout and Carrier Clearance Studies and Controls Device Layout,
Carrier Design and Service Platform Design.
Prepared Chain Pull and Drive Calculations.
Note regarding automotive experience: worked on projects for General Motors, Ford, Saturn,
Subaru-Isuzu (SIA), Harley-Davidson, BMW, and Freightliner.
ZEPHYR PRODUCTS, Leavenworth, KS 1994 to 1995
Mechanical Designer
Responsible for the development and production of the Zephyr Hurricane 150 Truck Mounted Carpet
Cleaner. The project involved: Three Dimensional Cad design, Sheet Metal design and layout, NC
part programming, Supervision of part production and welding, electronic and control circuit design
and assembly, high pressure plumbing, System assembly and testing.
Reduced Technician downtime by palletizing the entire Carpet Cleaner. This enabled
maintenance to be performed in the shop and not in the vehicle.
Injection of the soap and carpet cleaning chemicals after the high pressure pump and diesel fired
boiler increased performance and extended service life.
