- 2. Work Experience Contract Designer June 2014-present Design a chain ratchet from inventor's concept using Solidworks Premium Design to U.S. Navy specs Provide technical data and drawings for patten procedure Work both independently and in collaboration with inventor Regal Machine, Wyoming, Minnesota CNC Programmer-Operator 1990-2014 Regal Machine is a certified ISO-9001 job shop that has the of reputation of producing high quality parts and assemblies. My primary duties involved getting the stock and the print for a part, and then being responsible for all aspects in producing a high quality part. These responsibilities included but were not limited to the fallowing: Create the work flow for the part Attain knowledge of the effect the machining process has on the material Design and manufacture work holding devices such as fixtures and vise jaws. Select the tooling Use CAM software to select the best tool-paths for the material and the machining center Trouble shoot the program and setup Ensure the part meets or exceeds all quality standards provided by the customer Produce the required number of parts while ensuring quality In the job shop environment the number of parts run seldom was greater then in the hundreds. I have gone through this process many times using a great variety of different materials. Most of my work was complicated high tolerance parts requiring the use of multiple axis and multiple surface machining cycles. I wrote controller macros for custom machine cycles and safety cycles. I used safety cycles to have the machine check and move the axis if needed to avoid tool crashes. I modified Renishaw macros for custom applications. I provided tech support setting up software and providing instruction on its use. I wrote many user interface programs to speed programing, setup and to help avoid mistakes. Other areas of knowledge and experience: Time and cost studies Quoiting machining time Work holding Tooling research Plating and finishes Threaded inserts Troubleshooting CNC machining centers Geometric tolerance Quality assurance Prototype Production Part and assembly design George LaCasse | Page 2

I quickly learned how steam equipment worked and welding techniques for repair and new projects. After working part time in collage I was asked to be supervisor. I had such good success organizing the department and managing personnel that when the superintendent for the boiler plant retired I was asked to add his responsibilities to my job. When the collage constructed a new co-generation plant I was asked to be Chief operator because of my ability to find resources, learn what was needed and manage people. Education 1981-1985 Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina General Studies 1975 Graduated from White Bear Lake High School Military 1975-1980 US Navy When I came aboard my ship my duties were machining and pump man for damage control. By the time I left the ship I was the supervisor for machining, knew all positions on the damage control party and was the leader. I also performed the duties of Master at arms, Supply petty officer and Petty officer in charge of all paper work for the Engineering department. George LaCasse | Page 3
