I grew up with a machine shop in the garage at home so I've been machining parts since I could reach the controls. I received a Bachelors degree in Manufacturing Engineering with a focus area on CNC machining from Kent State University. After University I became an Applications Engineer with Makino, a premier machine tool builder, for nearly 10 years before moving to Autodesk where I have been focused on scoping, selling, and delivering consulting services in the area of advanced manufacturing processes. I recently took on the task of leading our Global Sustainability Consulting Practice incorporating Autodesk technology into customer projects to meet critical carbon reduction imperatives.

Areas of focus for me are in cutting edge manufacturing processes, specifically in designing and implementing processes that are highly adaptable, automated, efficient, and which drive towards sustainability goals. The majority of my professional career has been on delivering advanced technologies and processes to customers and supporting them on implementing that capability to their fullest potential.
At Autodesk I've previously been focused on scoping, project managing, and delivering advanced manufacturing processes Recently, I've moved to a new role leading Autodesk's Sustainability Consulting team globally which is allowing me to use my skills to build a team of professionals that have the skills to change the world by addressing our societies most pressing challenges.
