EMPLOYMENT

2006-2009 Sales Representative, Sandvik Coromant Company
My primary focus was to liaison between end user and distribution, to provide training for use of our cutting tools to engineering and CNC programers. I also provided documented cost savings ($1.7 million) for process improvements, special product quotes and special price consideration for distribution all in an effort to increase customer ROI as well as increase distributor market share.


2000-2006 Application Engineer, Bergers Supply Company
My responsibility was to turn around a failing carbide line of products and increase market share for all their carbide cutting tools. I did this through training, testing and implementation of process improvements and documentation for the end user. Within two years in a difficult economy we took their carbide product line from last to first with monthly sales near a $40,000 average.


1994-2000 Sales Representative, Sandvik Coromant
I worked to support distribution in the sales of our carbide cutting tools. Utilizing our computer generated cutting data modules I was able to test and implement machining process improvements and documented cost savings. I helped increase sales in my region from $2.8 - $4.5 million.
