Empowering People to Win - Together

Effective leadership starts with truly knowing the team — their strengths, challenges, and what drives them. My goal is to help each individual shine, align their talents with purpose, and guide the team toward our next big win.

Manufacturing is a team sport

Great teams don’t just work together — they grow together. We learn, practice, strategize, and execute as one. Every role matters, every effort counts, and when the team wins, we all win!

AI Integration

Implemented AI for enhanced operational efficiency. In the office and on the production floor. AI tools to create employee procedures, marketing materials, customer communications, legal drafts, contract review, create robot programs, create 3D models of fixtures, brainstorm growth paths, train on new topics, build custom programs & apps, troubleshoot equipment, automate administrative tasks, plus many other ways to get professional results faster.

Implemented three Fanuc robots and multiple pickers to automate more than 60 jobs. Short runs required quick changeovers and easy setup. Reduced labor and improved quality, contributing 4% to EBITDA.

The right AI tools can help your organization run faster and leaner than your competition. Expanding your skills, increasing output of trained employees and lowering costs.
