From Manufacturing Operator to Site Head— and Into a New Chapter at Info-Gel
More than 23 years of progressive manufacturing leadership across operations, technology, Lean transformation, supply chain, organizational development, regulated manufacturing, and full-site accountability.
Leadership Grounded in Operational Experience
My perspective was built by experiencing manufacturing from the inside out—learning the work, supporting the systems, leading teams, improving processes, integrating the value stream, and ultimately assuming full-site accountability.
I lead manufacturing organizations by aligning people, process, technology, supply chain, and business priorities to improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, customer service, and organizational capability.
My career progression has provided direct experience at nearly every level of a manufacturing organization—from operating equipment and supporting enterprise systems to leading integrated operations, supply chain functions, and an entire manufacturing site.
That breadth of experience shaped a leadership model centered on employee engagement, disciplined execution, data-driven decision-making, cross-functional integration, continuous improvement, and customer reliability.
A Leadership Journey Built One Level at a Time
Each role expanded my understanding of how manufacturing, quality, supply chain, technology, people, and business priorities must operate as one integrated system.

Info-Gel
Plant Manager
In 2026, I began a new chapter as Plant Manager at Info-Gel, bringing the lessons developed across more than two decades of manufacturing leadership into a different industry, operating environment, and stage of business growth.
The opportunity allows me to apply proven operating principles while continuing to learn a new manufacturing process, organization, customer base, and market.
It has also reinforced a belief developed throughout my career: although products, technologies, and regulatory environments change, the fundamentals of strong operations remain remarkably consistent.
How I Approach Manufacturing Leadership
The individual challenge may change, but sustainable performance depends on a consistent set of leadership disciplines.
People First
Build trust, capability, accountability, engagement, and ownership at every level.

Align execution to dependable quality, service, delivery, and customer commitments.
Operational Discipline
Establish standard work, clear priorities, performance visibility, escalation pathways, and execution rigor.
Cross-Functional Integration
Connect manufacturing, quality, engineering, supply chain, technology, and commercial priorities.
Data & Technology
Use meaningful data and appropriate systems to improve visibility, decision-making, and control.
Continuous Improvement
Eliminate waste, improve flow, reduce variation, solve root causes, and make work easier to execute.

“Customers do not experience individual departments. They experience one company.”
My leadership focus is creating the alignment, operating discipline, capability, systems, and shared accountability required for every function to perform as one integrated value stream.
Still Learning. Still Building. Still Improving.
My career continues to evolve, but the operating principles remain consistent: understand the work, develop people, create visibility, simplify processes, use technology deliberately, and align the organization around the customer. Today, I am applying those lessons at Info-Gel while continuing to develop my capabilities in manufacturing leadership, operational excellence, supply chain, technology, and organizational development.
