My Story
The Important Stuff
2024 marks 34 years of marriage to my wonderful wife and life partner, Lisa. We have two young adult daughters who are already etching their own Uncommon Achievements and making us extremely proud. I'm a Christian in training. I'm steadily absorbing the word of God and engaging with other like people to help foster a closer relationship with Him, to be his servant, and to create Uncommon Achievements in his honor.
A Record of Success
A thirty plus year professional career with a large family owned business and three of the best diversified industrial companies on the planet. Logical progression from technical, to technical leadership, to sales, sales leadership, operations, general management, and global group leadership. Along the way, I was involved in nearly a dozen acquisitions, and several green-field startups. Working in industries as varied as industrial welding systems, to cosmetic marketing tools, waste collection vehicles, and custom fire apparatus.
Charters that ranged from urgent turn arounds, to creating highly differentiated long-term profitable growth. Market conditions that varied from white hot double digit compounded multiyear growth to single year revenue losses of 45%.
Along the way, I’m proud to say the organizations I was fortunate enough to steward, consistently generated what I like to refer to as Uncommon Achievements.
I’m talking best in history margins, industry leading innovations, and patents (I personally have two), and targeted market share gains. And in the bad years, world class decrementals while keeping a strong team and the investments necessary to outpace competitors during recovery.
I've made mistakes
I was also fortunate to be allowed to make mistakes. Many of them. Most were small, but created setbacks nonetheless. Some were bigger and required some retrenching. I had some fantastic bosses, and some absolutely horrible ones as well.
It's all about the people
And through it all, I was truly blessed to work with, coach, and develop some absolutely wonderful people. And that was sincerely what made it meaningful and fun.
Don’t get me wrong, I love driving positive business results and winning. I’m proud of the performance records of the business I directed. But the Joy came from seeing the growth of people and watching them stretch to generate their own Uncommon Achievements.
I'd Love to Help You
And I would sincerely love the opportunity to help you do the same.
