Dave Lewis' Resume Companion

A physical representation of who I am and what I am passionate about.

Academic Achievements As of December 2015, I graduated from Kean University with a

Honors History degree and a 3.7 GPA. As a part of this program, I developed advanced research skills and showcased these skills.

Specifically, I followed the paths of former students that served in the Second World War as they travelled throughout the world. I presented my findings at the 2015 Northeast Regional Honors Council and Kean University's Research Days in which I informed attendees about the soldiers' travels and the guides they were given by the United States government in order to survive.

As well as presenting on the soldiers, I also created and presented a poster on my findings during my internship at Liberty Hall.

On the next slide, you'll find two photos from these events.

Presentations

Liberty Hall Internship At Liberty Hall, I inspected, photographed, and catalogued all

38 Horological instruments that the museum has in its collection.

These instruments ranged from grandfather clocks from the 1600s to dive watches from the 1980s.

Some notable manufacturers are; Leroy, Jules Jurgensen, and possibly Patek Philippe (as there is a Tiffany watch that was manufactured during the period in which Patek made movements for Tiffany watches.

Below you will find some of the photographs that I took.

New York Horological Society Classes I am a member of the New York Horological Society and have

taken two out of their three classes which introduce its members and collectors to the skills and sciences one must know in order to be a skilled Horologist.

Horology 101: In the first class, I disassembled and reassembled a ETA 6497 movement and learned about the purposes of each gear and how they work together.

Horology 102: In the second class, I also disassembled and reassembled a ETA 6497 movement but I was also taught about the different theories and formulas that go into the gear train.

Videos and Photographs can be found from my Instagram in the next slide.

Instagram My Instagram page has enabled me to engage with many other watch

enthusiasts throughout the past couple years and it really showcases my passion for not only my own personal collection but for those in the industry that share their own or their brands collections.

My Instagram exhibits my belief that watches especially vintage watches are a combination of History and Art on your wrist. One example is my Bulova A-11 which was issued to Allied Forces during the Second World War. The watch has a beautifully clean and crisp aesthetic to it but also is functional as when one needs to reset the time, the seconds hand stops in order to make synchronization more efficient. Thus making the A-11 the first watch to be able to do so.

Kean Hurling Club During my time at Kean University, I founded an Irish Cultural society that

spread awareness of Irish Language and Culture through Hurling, an ancient Gaelic sport.

Through this experience, I have learned to communicate and interact with various different communities and organizations and people in order to improve upon the conditions of having such a unique organization. An example would be when my club mates and I were on DIY's television program, Man Caves.

In addition to this, I have learned how to organize funds and events to further the condition of the group.

I have led the team to two trophies and multiple top three placements in tournaments throughout the country as well.

Here are links to what Hurling is alongside the link to the Man Caves episode we were featured in.
