Vice President of Training Programs
I am passionate about manufacturing. With 13+ years of manufacturing experience in continuous improvement, engineering, outside sales, technical product development and operations management, I respect and understand the challenges faced by many manufacturers.
Since joining SCMEP in 2014, I have had the pleasure of working with manufacturers in 11 counties of South Carolina to increase profitability while successfully driving operational improvements. It has always been my practice to assess a client’s specific needs and serve as a trusted advisor to provide relevant and actionable recommendations that are right for their business.
I think it is important for our state’s manufacturers to know that they are not alone: they have an allied resource in SCMEP and me. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than bringing resolution to a problem for a manufacturer and witnessing the positive impact it has on the company’s future trajectory.
