Osmose - Great company to work for. Required a lot of schooling to become a foreman. I was always given the contracts that had poor public relations on both sides. I would always bring calm to the situation but remained firm. Every contract that was completed the customers always asked if I would come to work for their Power Company. I was the only Foreman in company history to hit every weekly target.
Stillwater Mine - I have a long history with Stillwater Mine and I did not add this to my resume. I was the Tire Man up there for 5 years. I was brought in to manage their tire program. My job was to reduce cost and reduce down time. The average cost was $2.50 per hour. At the end of 5 years I had it down to $0.82 per hour and down time down by 67%
I was a Diamond Driller for Boart Longyear. The Mine hired me after contract was completed.
I spent most of my time as a Miner up there. I enjoy mining and the challenges that come with it. Very rare I did not meet my targets.
Millwright/fixed/stationary mechanic - I always enjoyed this department. I always worked overtime for 10 years in this department even though I was a Miner. To be responsible for over 500 pieces was great. I like the challenge. Always learning something new.
