I received my degree at Texas A&amp;M University in 2017 in Industrial Engineering and I continue to learn from great mentors at Smith System everyday-Doug, Mo, and Thomas.<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/David_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/David_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<h2>What is the most challenging aspect of your job?<\/h2>\r\n<p>I think there are two aspects of my job that are challenging. The seasonality of the business and the ramp-up in the summer and the processes-making sure everything is staying on track during this busy time. The second one is the safety aspect-how we keep everyone safe during the manufacturing process.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What are some of your favorite aspects of your job?<\/h2>\r\n<p>All of it! If I could choose my favorite aspect, it would be the ability to change processes and see the improvements from changes we are implementing in safety with the manufacturing machines.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/David_Fampic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"530\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>Now it&#8217;s time for some fun questions! What has been your favorite vacation?<\/h2>\r\n<p>It would have been getting married in Italy but Covid happened, so we are planning to get married in Italy next year. We are also very excited-We are expecting our first child in July!<\/p>\r\n<h2>If you could choose to do anything for the day, what would it be?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Hmm&#8230;Right now, it would be golfing. I am still learning because I just recently started playing but one good hit or drive makes it all worth it.<\/p>\r\n<h2>If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be?<\/h2>\r\n<p>That would be a burger and fries. I am always looking for a great new burger place to try.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What is your favorite game or sport to watch or play?<\/h2>\r\n<p>To watch and to play would be soccer. I recently played in intramurals with my wife before Covid and hoping to play again soon.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What is one thing that you could not go one day without?<\/h2>\r\n<p>I could never go without my Aggie ring.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/David_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\r\n\t<p>For current job opportunities, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/about-us\/careers\/\">www.smithsystem.com\/about-us\/careers\/<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Employee Spotlight.
