Sr. Project Manager (Retired) – John Deere Reman in Springfield, Missouri. I have seventeen (17) years engineering experience developing and managing material recovery operations/processes, inspection and test criteria, assembly operations, and material warehouse logistics, to support complete remanufacture of diesel engines and drive train components for agriculture and heavy construction equipment applications. Prior to my years in the remanufacturing industry, I worked as an Application Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Resident Engineer, and Operations Manager in the electric motors and drives industry. I completed a 9000 hr. Apprenticeship Program with the General Electric Co. from 1981 – 1986, and earned my BS-Electro/Mechanical in 1987 from Missouri State University. I currently live with my wife of 46 years, Barbara, on a small acreage just outside of Springfield, Missouri. We recently purchased lake property on Table Rock Lake, with plans to build our retirement home and relocate to the lake.
