Kappa Alumni of Sigma Phi Delta, Inc.

My name is Andrew Slovacek aka "Slov". I started at Tri-State University in Fall 2004, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I started pledging in Fall 2007 as a Junior and finished in Spring 2008 (spent 2007 as a co-op as a Gear Engineer for Dana Corp, in Maumee, OH). I graduated in 2009 BSME, Co-op cert, and metal minor. After graduation, I took a job as a Tire Engineer for Titan Tire Inc, in Bryan, OH. I took a promotion, learned Electrical Engineering, and became an Electrotechnical Engineer doing large capital projects and energy upgrades (I also worked with two alumni I went to school with - Jarred McCain EE 2010 and Adam Greiner DET 2010). In July of 2016, I left Titan Tire Inc, and joined Interdyne Inc (As an Operations Manager/VP of Engineering). In 2021 I started the next journey of my career and went to work for Livonia Tool & Laser as a Plant Supervisor running their high tech Laser Facility. As a teenager the owner allowed my tech class from high school to use their high tech CO2 Lasers and cut stainless steel which solidified my want to be an engineer. Years later I was able to return to the place that helped solidify my interest in engineering  and work for one of my mentors. I joined the Engineering Board of SPD because I wanted to help and give back to the organization that has shaped a large part of my personal and professional life. I was Treasurer from 2010 - 2020 and now just hold a board position. I look forward too many more decades of great experiences mentoring young engineers and meeting new friends/brothers.
