About Me

I've been a robot programmer for a little over 10yrs. I'm currently a 1099 contractor through my llc 'Minds In Motion Robotics'.I do currently have workmans comp & liability insurance.

Most of my work history is with Fanuc, but I have worked on several Motoman projects in the past as well as a few Camau robot projects.

I have experience teaching material handlers, sealers, stud welders, riveters (carried/ped), sealers, mig & spot welders, Tsync & coordinated motion.

I'm currently only open for local programming contracts in Michigan. But I might be open to the possibly of short term, travel contracts.
