James Costner's Intro of himself


Well my name is James Costner although most people that actually know me call me JT. I'm from a relatively small town in Arkansas, but not so small everyone knows each other. I moved to Indiana in 2005 to attend Purdue's Engineering program, but I am now finishing up my BS in the school of Technology. (Major - MET) In May of 2007 I joined Purdue's Co-Op program, which allowed me to work for Carrier Air Conditioning every other semester. While I was there I was placed in charge of completing many different tasks, including running a couple Kaizen events. For those who may not know what a Kaizen event is, it is a small group (5 to 7 people) in charge of completing a series of tasks in a week's time. By the end of the week we were expected to complete a month's worth of projects or at least have the expected finish date for the end presentation. At the end of the week we were also required to present what we had accomplished to the entire supervisor and engineering teams that were in the plant. So basically this has given me some experience in putting together events and presentations in a short amount of time.
