My name is Tom Conway. I was born near Philidelphia in pennsylvania, USA and still live in PA at a small river town near Lancaster. I am 22 years old as of writing this.
I did fairly well in school and was able to take votechnical college classes in my junior and senior years of highschool. Thus dual graduating with a highschool diploma and a votechnical State certified electromechanical engineering degree. Which is a fancy name for a combination electrician/mechanic/machinist/HVAC guy. I took a 10 hour OSHA certification, NOCTI certificate of compitency and earned over 30 related trade certifications distributed by AMATROL. Also took General Manufacturing so know abit about welding, sheet metal fabrication, and industrial machining with lathes and saws and such.
During my highschool days I did the typical wagie shuffle. Cashier at a CVS for a year, then at a local turkey hill for a year, then had an interesting job as a helper to a cow pediatritian where we went around to different farms and treated their cows for hoove related issues. Did that for a season. Then I got a job through a temp agency as an apprentice industrial maintenance technical at a printing press up by Harrisburg.
I didn't have a great time towards the end of that job and it killed my motivation to work. Luckily, the COVID pandemic started the same month I quit, so it was a good excuse to take some time to recharge the batteries. Now its been 2 years and its time to get back into the work force. Currently looking for work. If you happen to be a buisness owner looking to hire someone with experience in electrical, mechanical, PLC programming, and general manufacturing with power tools, shoot me a email! I am willing to travel.
