About
I am an operations-driven professional with over 19 years of hands-on experience managing production environments, leading teams, and delivering high-quality results from concept through final product. I hold a degree from Purdue University with a focus on Operations & Manufacturing Management and Total Quality Management (TQM), a foundation that has guided my disciplined, analytical mindset. I believe strongly that the principles of manufacturing excellence—precision, innovation, teamwork, compliance, and pride in workmanship—apply to any industry.
Throughout my career I have contributed to Business Development & Growth Strategy, working closely with ownership, clients, vendors, and cross-functional partners to expand capabilities and improve performance. I have taken an active role in Product Development & Innovation, helping transform ideas into efficient, repeatable processes while maintaining rigorous Quality Assurance & Control standards. I have consistently focused on process improvement initiatives, implementing systems that increase efficiency, strengthen compliance, reduce costs, and improve overall product quality. I bring extensive experience in Plant and Facility Management, including equipment selection, staff supervision, inventory control, logistics coordination, and regulatory compliance. I have built and maintained strong Vendor & Supplier Relations, managed Inventory, Logistics, and Compliance functions, and trained employees in safe and effective operating procedures. I am also forklift certified, with practical knowledge of warehousing, material handling, and workplace safety.
I am seeking a new opportunity to join an organization that values operational excellence, innovation, and Total Quality Management (TQM). I offer proven leadership, team building, manufacturing management, quality assurance, and continuous improvement skills, along with a strong work ethic and a collaborative, solutions-oriented perspective. I am committed to ongoing growth and to making meaningful contributions to the success of the team and the business.
