I started with Avanzar back in Feb 2007 through a temporary agency (IHC) as an operator in the metals Department. Then in May of 2007 I was converted from IHC to Full time Avanzar and continued to operate and learn more about my department. After 1 year as a metals operator I was given the opportunity to become a welder after passing a weld test. As a welder I learned as much as possible from those who had more experience and those who were in the quality department. In late 2009 another opportunity came around, but this time it was in a leadership position. I became a Team Leader within the metals department. After several months of being a team lead and coached by my supervisor. On Feb 2010 Bryant Moran identified a great opportunity to become a supervisor of the Metals North which built Tundra Front seat frames. In 2013 Metals went from 2 supervisor per shift 1, which I continued my journey as a metals supervisor. On Feb 2016 I was blessed with another opportunity to become the Focus Factory Manager of the Baja and Doors. I have been coached by different people throughout my career to be able to move up and understand different positions. Avanzar is known of promote people from within the organization and I have been blessed on being one of them.
