I enjoy manufacturing and using my hands and machinery to make a product. My goal is to keep improving our manufacturing process and reduce operating costs. I feel that if I learn something new every day I have accomplished my goal for the day. The Kinetic Co., Inc. has specialized since 1948 in the manufacture and distribution of industrial knives and hardened wear products including grinding, machining, heat treating, fabrication and assembling services.

Vice President @ As Vice President of Kinetic I manage all the daily operations of our manufacturing plant. This will include anything from maintenance of equipment to working with customers on a project. Since 1948 Kinetic has been a family owned and operated business. My brother Jared and I carry this tradition on following the death of our Father in 2013. We work together as a team to supply our customers with the worlds finest industrial knives, hardened wear products, contract grinding, heat treating, assembly, and machining services. From February 2013 to Present (2 years 11 months) V.P. Operations @ My skills and experience include the following but are not limited to-being involved in all processes and engineering for the manufacture on industrial knives for paper mills, steel mills, and customers requiring contract grind and/or machining services. I have a full working knowledge of standard and advanced machine shop operation. In addition I specialize in blanchard and mattison grinding, machine tool selection, manintance, rebuild and remanufacture, welding, machine tool way scraping, vacuum heat treating, process development, sales, after sales support and service, expendable tooling selection and cost reduction, customer service, vendor relations, team building, problem solving, facilities maintance and daily troubleshooting. Being a family owned business I started when I was young working in the plant doing odd jobs, shipping and the storeroom. Once 18, I moved onto operating some of the machines and realized I enjoyed doing it. From this point on I continued to advance myself and my skills at all aspects of manufacturing. From June 2004 to January 2013 (8 years 8 months) Leadman @ As grinding leadman I specified grinding wheels, conducted time studies on them and evaluated their performance. Issued work to operators and assisted them with set ups if needed. I specified rebuild parameters for equipment and supervised the installation of this equipment. Preventative maintance and breakdown maintance was part of my daily duties as well. From June 1998 to May 2004 (6 years) Machine Operator @ I operated milling and grinding machines as instructed. During this time I learned skills from many of the experienced operators as well as learning many skills on my own by trial and error. From June 1993 to May 1998 (5 years) Shipping/Receiving @ In Shipping I packaged parts for transport, built wooden boxes for shipments, and stenciled parts that were being shipped to customers or going to stock. Receiving involved unloading trucks and moving parts to stock or to locations on the floor for manufacturing. Working in inventory I stocked the shelves with raw and finished goods. From August 1986 to May 1993 (6 years 10 months)
