  • 20+ years of experience in machining, QC and facilities management
  • Married to my wonderful wife Andrea (who is an RN, BSN, CMSRN, XYZ, ABC and a bunch of other stuff that I can’t remember). Two children, Cason(10) and Nora Jo(8). Two chocolate labs, Jager(10) and Remmy (1). One inherited Basset Hound named Chili.  One inherited cat and an inherited rabbit. 25 or so chickens and 4 hogs (no names for the chickens, hogs named Ham, Bacon, Pork Chop and Sausage).
  • Vacations are for fishing, as are weekends and every other day that ends  with “y”, as long as the kids are in tow!
  • Camping, fishing, boating, hunting… anything that has to do with the outdoors, except hiking, no one really likes hiking…
  • Rafting… Far from a River Rat, but love floating. From prepping for the trip to cleaning up afterward and everything in between. I can’t get enough of it! I mostly enjoy watching my son catch fish, watching him build fires, put up a tent and everything else that goes along with it.
  • Recently introduced to Bow Hunting (lifelong rifle hunter), and love, love, love it. Although I only have one bow, which is weird, as I tend to overindulge in the outdoor gear department.
  • Still like collecting my fair share of ducks in the fall.
  • Love to be on the water, preferably in the sunshine with a silver can in my hand.
  • Gun toting, flag waving, Red-Neck (minus the boots, hat and horse).

VP Sales

You couldn’t help yourself, could you? I have been involved with specialty tooling for the PCA process for over 25 years now. Judging by the increasing size of my forehead, I figure I’ve got about five years before I’m totally bald. I’ve primarily worked within the sales arena, but have extensive knowledge of the design, manufacturing, and assembly aspects as well. But on a personal level… I have been married to my wife Natalie for 20 years and have three wonderful children, Madison who is 18, and Alex who is 15, and Alyssa who is 9. Away from work I enjoy golf, and just about any other sporting activity. Try to stump me on sports or Seinfeld trivia. You can’t. And don’t mess with my Dodgers, Cowboys or Trailblazers…
