Background

About Clint Hudson

I am the Engineering Manager for a small conveyor company in the Midwest. We design and manufacture tube style drag conveyors for use primarily in food production, though the construction lends itself well to other industries. I've had this role for 1.5 years and have worked here for 3.5. For 7.5 years I worked for a software company that writes commercial engineering simulation and analysis software. Prior to that I spent the majority of a decade as a business analyst and manufacturing engineer for heavy equipment manufacturers in Iowa. My job has always been to research, identify, and implement ways for engineers, draftsmen, and their coworkers to get their work done faster, more accurately, and to communicate their work to management and other departments better. Much of the time this work required the development of a computer program that communicated with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Excel, business databases, and others as needed. Other times it required the development of best practices and training. The programs and developments have taken the form of scripts, macros, desktop applications and web-based programs, some of which included the development of new databases or interfaces to existing databases. I enjoy finding ways to make people happy with their jobs, and frequently all that takes is something that saves them a few minutes a day and reduces the likelihood of error, or something that pleases their managers, clients, or coworkers. That's the job that I have 8 hours per day, but I'm also the pastor of my church, and that's a duty that doesn't stop when you clock out. We are a small church that are passionate about Jesus, His love for the lost and the poor, and the message of salvation He brought to the world. As an engineer and a pastor, I love talking about science and how science supports that there is a Creator. So for anyone who wants to enter into such a discussion, please message me! Thank you and God bless!
