Summary
of Background
After
completing a four-year tour in the US Army, I started working in the
truss
industry in 1988 with my father as the only truss and wall panel designer. It was a small component company
that tried to find a market niche in central Maine. While working
part
and full-time, I completed a four-year degree in Business
Management. In
Wisconsin, I refined my technical skills as a component designer and
became
their design manager. In Idaho, truss sales became my primary
focus. Within a year of employment at this company, I became the
lead
salesman. After five years, I was up for promotion to a general
manager’s
position; however, I passed on this to move my family back to the East
coast. My last position was with a New Hampshire company as
the
manager of production.
I have learned something new from each location I have visited, and I
share all the best practices with the next consultation and also with
previous clients. It has been a cumulative process that is
really making a difference with each consultation. Between
learning best practices with each location and the research I conduct,
such as lean manufacturing principles, I know I am performing
a valuable service that permits companies to become more profitable.
Education
- Bachelor of Science Degree in
Business Administration
- Four-year program for Business Management
