Excellent choice! Named after ash trees indigenous to the San Joaquin Valley, Fresno was founded as a railway station and expanded into wheat and wool production. While Fresno's economy retains its agricultural roots, healthcare, retail trade, manufacturing, and construction have developed. Manufacturing includes commercial loading docks, hydroturbines, surfing hardware, tie-down straps, and highway equipment.

During my Lean Six Sigma training with our Master Black Belt I was able to gain a true understanding of the tools that are required knowledge for an effective continuous improvement program. I have used these tools first hand to implement operational savings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Additionally, earning my certification has allowed me to expand my knowledge base and to lead others on the path of waste reduction and process improvement.
