Hi, I am Tom Stikkelman and currently work as a CNC Programmer in the Memphis Tennessee area. I was born in Amsterdam, Holland and moved to the United States in 1980 after finishing high school.
I started my career as an apprentice machinist in 1985 after serving in the U.S Marines for 4 years. The first machine shop that hired and trained me was a large job shop that machined large components for civilian and military air crafts. In 1992 I moved to the Memphis Tennessee area and since have worked in the medical instrument manufacturing industry and currently work in a job shop building custom industrial machinery.
I enjoy teaching students all about Machining and CNC Programming.
