I've mopped the floors, deburred the parts, and run the machines. I've written the procedures, issued the CARs, and fixed them too. This work is something I actually love, and it doesn't have to be as complicated as it usually feels.
Whether you need help understanding what a clause actually means or someone to run your whole audit program, here's how I can help. I'm also open to individually tailored engagements.
A complete internal audit of one process, conducted using a process-based approach consistent with AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 §9.2. I review your procedures, traveler flow, records, and conformance against the standard, then deliver a written report and any CARs required. Remote, on-site, or hybrid.
End-to-end internal audit program management: I develop your annual audit plan, audit all required QMS processes, issue reports and CARs, track corrective actions through closure, and prepare Management Review inputs. Everything a certification body needs to see a functioning system.
Not sure where your QMS stands against AS9100D or ISO 9001:2015? I review your quality manual, procedures, and records clause-by-clause and deliver a prioritized gap report so you know exactly what to fix before a certification body walks in.
A focused training session built specifically around your company's QMS, right before your third-party audit. You send me your quality manual and key process documentation, and I build a presentation tailored to your system. Supports AS9100D §7.2 Competence and §7.3 Awareness requirements with a fresh training record as evidence.
Need a single document written, a procedure reviewed, or your whole document set overhauled? Or want your team trained to run their own audits? I write clear, usable QMS documentation and deliver practical training that actually makes sense on the shop floor.
Your shop runs on memory right now. Someone knows what's on which machine, who's behind, what broke last time. FloorBoard Lite puts that on a screen instead — drag-and-drop job board, machine status, shipping log, daily exceptions. Download it once, open it in your browser, and it just works. One computer, no subscription, no login, no cloud. FloorBoard (multi-user hosted) and FloorBoard Pro (full AS9100-integrated) are coming soon.
A straightforward process built around your team and your timeline.
We talk through your organization, the standard you're working to, your QMS state, and what you need most.
I review your quality manual, procedures, Document Master List, and records before we start so audit time isn't wasted on admin.
Process-based audits, gap analysis, or consulting sessions, remote via Zoom, on-site, or hybrid depending on your needs.
A clear written audit report and Corrective Action Requests. Findings are practical and tied to evidence, not just a list of clause numbers.
I verify corrective actions were taken and effective, and confirm your QMS is ready for what comes next.
A rescue dedicated to saving, rehabilitating, and rehoming poodles and poodle mixes in north Texas, through a trusted foster network ensuring every dog gets medical support and emotional healing. Inspired by the legacy of Jack.
Visit Peace Love Poodles →LSC Precision is my dad's shop — he founded it in 2007, and I came on in 2008 as his first employee. My mom joined later and they run it together now, but in the beginning it was just the two of us figuring it out. That meant cleaning the shop, deburring parts, running machines, and learning how a precision machining floor actually works from the inside out. I even brought my son to work with me until he started school. With the guidance of a consultant from TMAC — the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center — we built a quality management system tailored specifically to our shop and took it through AS9100 certification in 2011.
At the same time, I was finishing a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Studies at the University of North Texas, with a minor in Substance Abuse and Addictions. I graduated in 2012. People ask what that has to do with quality management, honestly, quite a lot. The work is always about people first. Systems only hold up when the people running them actually understand why they matter.
After graduation I stayed at LSC and kept growing into whatever needed doing: shipping, people management, accounts receivable and payable, payroll. Small business teaches you fast that everything is connected. In 2022 I completed my Probitas Authentication certified AS9100 Rev. D and ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor course, putting a formal credential behind what I'd already been doing for over a decade.
After 18 years I made the decision to step away from LSC to do this full time. I built something there I was proud of: a quality system that worked, that held up through certification cycles and personnel changes, that was built on real understanding of the work. Now I want to help other companies do the same thing, without having to figure it all out the hard way the way I did.
In 2025 I founded Peace Love Poodles, Inc., a 501(c)(3) rescue for poodles and poodle mixes in north Texas. It started because of a dog named Jack. The same things that make someone good at quality work: attention to detail, follow-through, caring whether the outcome is actually right, turn out to matter just as much when you're trying to find a scared dog a safe home.
I do this work because I genuinely care whether systems work, not just whether they pass an audit. That's true whether I'm closing a CAR or placing a poodle.
AS9100D requires auditors not audit their own work. An external auditor removes that conflict entirely and brings genuinely unbiased eyes to your processes and records.
A certified lead auditor without the cost of hiring, training, and carrying one on staff. A good option for small and mid-size manufacturers who need quality expertise without adding headcount.
CARs written with manufacturing reality in mind, practical, traceable to evidence, and written so your team knows exactly what to do next.
Every engagement ends with your QMS in better shape than we found it and demonstrably ready for a third-party certification audit when the time comes.
