A Grade Maintenance Technician at Knorr-Brems (Bendix)
Don Bowers
As a Process Technician at T.I. Automotive, I had the pleasure of working with Jacob for a few years on many projects and day-to-day operations in a highly automated environment. Jacob was always willing and able to figure out problems that arose with our robotic welding cells, presses, and traceability processes. He was a great asset to our department when it came to troubleshooting and programming issues that we Process Techs could not resolve. I highly recommend him.
Regards, Don Bowers (30-year Maintenance Tech).

Mr. Bradshaw was an instructor while I was attending Ivy Tech. Not only did he have a great knowledge of the courses I was taking but had a great capacity for how industry and technology work. Not only did I view him as an instructor but as well as a mentor, sharing time with him I don't just think of him as a teacher, but a mentor as well.
