AUBURNDALE HIGH ALUMNI - CLASS OF 1974
I am an alumni of AHS class of 1974. I learned mechanical and architectural drafting under the watchful eyes of Mr. Ray Daniels. Safe to say that his classes were my favorites. My understanding of mechanical drawing would go on serve me well, first as a machinist and later as a product development technician and tool designer.
At this point my career is drawing to a close. I plan to retire in the next three or four years. When it ends, I will have spent over forty five years in a career that mechanical drawing was my one of my most fundamental skills.
I am currently employed by JBT Corp. (Formerly FMC) in Lakeland. I have been there over twenty years now. During my tenure I have designed various components for our food processing equipment and am currently named as inventor or co-inventor on five U.S .Patents. In addition I've designed various machines and tooling and fixtures for our manufacturing department.
Well Nick, that's the short version of a long career, if you would like to learn more for your gallery of alumni please feel free to contact me.
Warm Regards,
