Introduction
In early 2013, after a lifetime in Toledo, OH, my family and I made the leap to Montana. We were captivated by its beauty, with its peace and solitude. With over 20 years of experience in large corporations, navigating matrix organizations, and refining purchasing practices, my journey with Imerys came to a close in February 2024. Eager to explore new opportunities, I'm intrigued to see where my expertise might find a market. During my time in Montana, I've successfully managed remote teams for seven years, overseeing 50+ facilities and collaborating on a global scale. While some potential clients may hesitate due to Montana's distance, I'm committed to accommodating travel expenses from the closest major airport of their choice.
I'm a family person, married with three grown "kids" (photo circa 2016), two dogs, and two cats. Reading fuels my passion for learning, especially non-fiction titles like "Meditations", "Comfort Crisis", "Do Hard Things", "Outlive", and "From Strength to Strength". Outdoor activities are my playground, and I've also dedicated over 25 years to coaching hockey. My approach is straightforward yet professional, driven by a thirst for knowledge, a love for challenges, and a commitment to achieving excellence. Whether locally in Montana or on a global scale, I'm ready for what lies ahead.
