I started working on the floor of a wire harness manufacturing business in created by my grandfather in 1955.  By the time I was fitting into a onsie, I was exposed to the manufacturing environment and hooked.  After leaving the family business to explore opportunities on my own, I ended up working for the largest distributor of DIRECTV, RCA, YAMAHA, Pioneer, LG, Toshiba, and various other lines in the United States.  Having a passion towards helping the "little guy" succeed against the big box stores and mass-marketer operations, led to success within the distribution channel.  I was introduced to the world of Rigging and Staging with the acceptance of a role with James Thomas Engineering and was introduced an entirely different opportunity.  I have served as a sales manager for JTE, Tomcat, Eurotruss and eventually Ops with Eurotruss/Total Structures.  After the great CV19 pandemic decimated the staging and truss manufacturing of our industry for a couple of years, I joined GIS Corporation in 2022 as the Marketing Manager and Sales.
