Q: What did you do before coming on board with Lean Scheduling?
A: Early on, I spent 3 years as a Crew Chief for the United States Air Force, then I spent 24 years in the fiber optic cabling industry.

Q: What do you enjoy most about working for LSI?
A: I enjoy the ability to work with many different industries and companies to help them solve business problems.

Q: What is at the top of your bucket list?

Q: Last question here: What would you say is the most under-valued thing in the world?
A: That’s an easy one: Time with your family.
