About Neal Hargrave

I\'ve been in the manufacturing trades for over 2 decades. I\'ve had the opportunity to work with some highly talented individuals on a lot of awesome projects. I love the fact that there is always more to learn in this field. I never want to be the smartest person in the room. I enjoy working with people who are smarter and more talented than me, and those who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. I\'m always open to hear about new opportunities as a cnc programmer or cnc applications engineer and I hope to continue to learn and grow in this field.
