I began my calibration profession in the US Navy. After serving for eight years, I left the Navy but was still figuring out my career path. Given my longstanding interest in mechanics, I took up a job as a mechanic at a truck stop. However, as it turned out, mechanics was more of a hobby than a career for me. That’s when I made the decision to join Trescal in Charlotte, as a Calibration Technician II.

Recently I helped implement a new automated primary pressure standard at the Charlotte laboratory which allowed the lab to provide higher accuracy calibrations and decrease turnaround time for all of our customers. I thoroughly enjoy working in a dynamic environment, where I have opportunities to acquire diverse skills and knowledge. In addition, working with my colleagues has been a valuable experience, surpassing my expectations.
