Since 2017, I've been working for a firm in southwest Ohio which manages branding projects for fuel distributors in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. I help brand representatives, fuel distributors, and station owners come to budgetary and scope of work agreements on branding projects. I file for permits, testify before zoning boards, negotiate compromises, place orders for materials, and ensure that everything is in order for our crews to complete projects. When a job is complete, I ensure that it complies with brand standards and document its completion.

I graduated with a BA in Liberal Studies from Thomas Edison State University in September 2017. My official final GPA was 4.0, but for full disclosure, the transfer credits that I brought to Thomas Edison averaged 3.7. I focused on classical Hebrew and the history of the Ancient Near East. My undergraduate capstone project was a comparative study of the history of Ashkenazi and Romani communities in Eastern Europe. I continue to find the Hebrew Bible and related topics interesting.

From 2014 to 2016, while working on my BA, I worked as a Buffer Operator at AAP St. Marys, the largest aluminum wheel manufacturer in the United States. Lest you try to Google it and discover it doesn't exist, it is now known as Kosei St. Marys.

In this position, I carried out troubleshooting on our buffer system, a network of elevators, robots, shelves, and conveyors which accepted, stored for cooling, and then routed partially finished aluminum wheels to various locations in the machinine department. My role was to solve issues in the machinery and its associated tracking software. I trained new associates, tracked inventory, investigated discrepancies, and documented quality issues.

At AAP I served on the 401k committee. During that time, I supported the inclusion of index funds in our company's retirement package.

From 2012-2013, prior to my promotion to Buffer Operator, I worked as a Deburrer at AAP St. Marys, inspecting the cosmetics of aluminum wheels, loading and unloading pallets, and documenting inventory flow.
