I come to Trine with over 40 years of practical manufacturing management experience. I have worked in a wide variety of industries from automotive to chemical and plastics production to food processing. My goal has been to try and help people achieve their goals, whether professional or personal.

I try to bring the same approach I successfully used in my business career to academia: Set clear expectations and work with students to meet those expectations. I work hard to support them and bring my experience, education, and skill set to the classroom.

My wife and I have raised four children and stay actively involved in our community. I enjoy reading, playing golf and running (or what passes for running these days!). Finally, I am a diehard Boston sports fan: Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and Patriots. I look forward to attending as many Thunder sports events as I can!
