I wrote this letter so people could see a little more of me then what is communicated in a resume. <br> I was raised on a farm, moved off the farm at 21. So I understand hard work. I started my fabrication abilities early. When I was junior in high school I put a Ford Flathead V8 in my dad’s Oliver 70 tractor so we could have some thing at a reasonable cost to plow the fields faster. We used that tractor for 10 years, which was when he quit farming. I know Inventor, Solid Works, Mechanical desktop, and Auto Cad. I have 30 years of design and manufacturing experience. So I do understand the workings of a factory and what it takes to make things. I took a number of projects form start to finish, My last big project was a ground up redesign of a four-wheel drive articulating tractor I have done complete redesigns of tractors, zero turn mowers, walk behind mowers, mower decks and many attachments. And Designed a large shrink wrap machine for a client in 2014. Designed a group of five automated laser inspection machines. <br> I have done some interesting work on fans for truck loaders. In 2010 I designed a small truck loader from scratch. No one else there had a clue so I took it on. So I got a couple of books on blower design and added a few ideas of my own. Designing a completely new style fan and housing that turned out to out due the competition and also at a reduced noise level then the rest. I am a very innovative thinker. I feel comfortable out of the box. <br> And I usually manage to find the most cost effective way to do it. <br> I am a very mechanically inclined person that can figure out most anything. And once I understand it then I can design it, make it, or, fix it. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I can do and have done most anything. I am just as at home either designing or making things. I can see in my head what I'm going to design before I even start. <br> I have 30 years of sheet metal and weldment experience with both carbon steel and stainless steel, and have done some welding myself including oxy-acetylene welding cast iron. <br> As far as plastics go I have designed several fuel tanks that where either rotational or blow molded. I have worked in machine shops and with shop employees and know how to ask and listen to them, and use what they know. They many times have some very good ideas, and know what can and can’t be done. I have worked in concurrent engineering teams that also include the people from all parts of the shop. <br> I actually have many skills. I can and have design and build most anything. I am good with hydraulics. I designed or at least had a part in design probably 75% of the wire harness's that are in use at Schiller Grounds Care Inc. I did probably 90% of the trouble shooting on the assembly floor. For fourteen years before I went into Engineering I owned and operated a transmission shop and machine shop. I rebuilt and modified transmissions and transfer cases for applications ranging from a normal driver to all out pulling trucks. Occasionally having to take parts from different types of transmissions and integrating them into another style to get the gear ratios and strength needed to make the vehicle competitive. And also designing and building many pieces of equipment and tools for use in the shop. <br> I would tackle most anything, there is very little I will back away from. And the first five years that I ran my business I also worked nights in the machine shop at Crepaco machining parts for food processing equipment. So I have a very good understanding of machine tools. <br> After running my own business for fourteen years, it shows that I am a self-starter, and work well with customers. <br> I designed and built the under ground house that I live in. So I understand more about structure then just building a lawn mower. And I moved a house a number of years ago. I also have a huge interest in Green Energy. I think I could be a good addition to your team and the quality of your product. <br> Thanks for reading this <br> Norm Wrensch <br>
