I am an advocate for developing and optimizing manufacturing in South Carolina.
With nearly 25 years of manufacturing experience in the upstate of South Carolina, I have the opportunity to leverage my knowledge, skill set, and passion as a resource to small and medium manufacturing companies in the region. I am endlessly fascinated with people and processes and am able to combine my energy and enthusiasm for both to help businesses become more competitive.
Blending the training and tools honed by SCMEP, with a solid background in continuous improvement, quality, supply chain, and operations, I am prepared to provide valuable insights, resources, and recommendations as a long term partner for your organization’s success and profitability.
