Meet Tim Hogan!

We are excited to introduce our new National Accounts Manager, Tim Hogan. Tim comes to us with a wealth of experience and knowledge, as well as a passion for metrology. Recently we sat down with Tim to find out a bit more about him.

MTM: When did you join the Made to Measure team?
Tim: February 11^th was my first day with Made to Measure.

MTM: Have you worked in the metrology field before?
Tim: Wow, you’re going to make me feel old now.  I’ve been working in the metrology field since I had my first “real job”.  Back in 1995 I worked for a company in Saginaw, Michigan and they were developing a contract inspection business.  So I have been in and around quality since then. 

MTM: Have you only done contract inspection?
Tim: No, not really.  I was always the person that was sent out on “special assignment” and  was the person who basically did everything from coordinating gage design and builds to running a layout department with 11 CMM’s to being a Quality Engineer and even a Program Manager.  Most recently I worked for Hexagon Metrology as the Aftermarket Specialist where I focused on upgrading competitive equipment.  That was a great experience and I learned a ton thru them.

MTM: What strengths do you bring to Made to Measure?
Tim: Probably the greatest strength I bring is experience.  Many times a sales person is thought of as a “yes man” who doesn’t really know what he or she is talking about.  I’ve been in manufacturing; I’ve had my head in a CNC with the setup guy trying to figure out if the part is moving on the tombstone; I’ve talked with OEM customers trying to explain CMM results and what Profile of a Surface really means; I’ve trained people on various CMM software.  Kind of a jack of all metrology trades.

MTM: Interesting.  What is a fact about you that most people would not know?
Tim: Well, I have 4 daughters; so my world now pretty much revolves around ballet classes, gymnastics, and all things pink.  But several years ago my dad and I used to drag race and do our own engine building.  I used to race a ’68 Firebird and he had a ’70 Nova.  That was a lot of fun.  We raced the same class and a few times we actually met in the finals.  That was pretty awesome – especially the times I beat him.

Tim brings a lot of energy and new ideas to Made to Measure and we're so happy to have him aboard. Tim's insight, experience and enthusiasm will be essential as we move forward with some exciting new plans for 2013, stay tuned!
