Biographical Statement

After coming to Columbus in 1988, I’ve enjoyed a career in engineering and business development. Much of my work has focused on new product development including technical development processes with global application, analytical problem solving, project management, and cross-functional integration.  I retired from a local Fortune 500 company in 2019.

I now focus on joining with students in the privilege of continued learning and development.  Accordingly, I continue to partner with industry as a part time consultant in order to further expand product development expertise and to share these learnings with our future engineering leaders.
