EDUCATION
Throughout my educational journey, the path and timing has paralleled my professional life. While completing my Associate Degree from Harper, I
worked in an Engineering department; making blue prints, checking dimensions, completing ECOs. Years passed after graduating, I advanced up in
the Engineering team; designs became more complex and responsibilities grew more demanding. Before long I had a small team of young
engineers all reporting to me, at that point I returned to college to complete an undergraduate degree from DeVry. Almost twenty years passed
since first joining the Engineering team and I began to apply much of the same scientific drive to align solutions to problems in other aspects of the
business, retuning to college to obtain my MBA from Keller with a concentration in Marketing.
ABOUT ME
I am a highly motivated person with a diverse work experience ranging from complex mechanical design to management,
financial planning, business operations and development. I’m a team player and leader that always keeps an eye on the
end game.
