- General Manager and Manufacturing Leader with more than 25 years of experience across plastics manufacturing, bringing deep expertise in heavy gauge thermoforming, injection molding, and plastic conversion processes.
- Most recently, he has led a multi-site thermoforming division with full P&L accountability, overseeing operations, engineering, product development, and sales for more than 500 team members. His career spans engineering leadership, plant management, business transformation, and division-level general management — consistently aligning technical strategy with commercial growth.
- His impact includes:
- 12% year-over-year new sales growth while offsetting customer attrition and strengthening OEM partnerships
- $15M revenue growth and 7% margin expansion at a key facility through customer rationalization and strategic focus
- 7% margin improvement at a second plant despite intentional revenue consolidation to drive profitability
- Successful leadership of two acquisitions, including operational assessments and post-close integration
- Plant consolidation initiative that outperformed financial and operational benchmarks
- 6% labor efficiency improvement and measurable reductions in downtime through Lean, Kaizen, and capital upgrades
- Why now? With new leadership brought into the organization, he made the decision that it was the right time to pursue his next chapter. He is seeking a role where he can continue leveraging his technical depth and general management experience — whether in General Management, Commercial Development, or Product Development leadership. He thrives in environments where operational excellence and customer strategy intersect.
- Based in the Upper Midwest, he prefers to remain in the region and is comfortable with travel for the right opportunity.
