"I started my professional career as a soldier in the United States Army where I served for nearly ten years. I worked as a Telecommunications Center Supervisor and maintained a Top Secret SBI clearance with SCI and Polygraph. I earned an Associate’s Degree of Applied Science in Mechanical Design from Clayton College & State University in Georgia after being honorably discharged. I have over twenty years of experience as a mechanical designer.

I am a Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional which means I have successfully passed SOLIDWORKS advanced skills examinations which was given in a testing environment at Gateway Community College in Phoenix, Arizona. For each CSWP Certification I have proven my ability to design and analyze parametric parts and movable assemblies using a variety of complex features in SOLIDWORKS software.

I hold the following Certifications:

Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional, Mechanical Design

Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional, Drawing Tools

Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)

Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate, Mechanical Design

I understand the 3d parametric modeling world and I know how to help students grasp this concept using practical instructions." less...
