Over 30 years of experience in the application of mechanical, electrical and industrial automation components and systems for manufacturing. My career has brought me through the full gamut of manufacturing incuding  food, pharma, discreet, process, batch, etc. The composites industry has many of the same challenges. All manufacturing shares the same goal which is to increase throughput, reduce waste, maximize quality while keeping a sharp eye on cost.

I have been working with composite part manufacturer’s since 2004 being mindful of these goals and know that to be successful, I must help customers achieve them as well. My technical experience includes not just an understanding of the systems that Composite Automation represents but more importantly the common composites manufacturing issues prevalent in the industry.

My hobbies include adoring my grandchildren, golf, fishing, skiing, and zydeco dancing with my lovely wife.

With over 15 years of experience in advanced composites and the energy industry, I’ve worked across R&D, product development, and production scale-up for industrial gas infrastructure. My technical background includes developing gas transport and purification systems, composite pressure vessels, and related infrastructure for storage and distribution. Today, my focus is on helping manufacturers select and implement advanced composite processing and automation equipment that improve throughput, reduce waste, and enhance quality. Working with clients worldwide, I strive to align innovative manufacturing technologies with real-world production and commercial goals.
