Need to find employment in Springfield Missouri?

Hi my family and are moving to Missouri at the end of October.
This is not up for debate, we have to move because of a sever medical allergy that my wife has. She is allergic to fire ants which are everywhere here in Texas. She got bit at the first of September and I watched her almost die in my arms.
Anyway Missouri does not have these fire ants. This is the only thing she is allergic to.
Anyway I need to find me a job, otherwise I will be forced to come back to Texas and leave the family in Missouri. I do not want to do this.
Anyway here is my resume, if you know of any manufacturing, machine shop in the area that is looking for someone please let me know. I am also open to ideas.
Here is my work history.
