IrriGreen is improving the way we water our lawns.It replaces traditional in-ground sprinkler systems with patented, programmable and smart units that save installation time, labor and materials and significantly reduce water usage.

VAST makes bricks out of garbage.We pioneered patented technologies that transform recycled tires and plastics into industry-disrupting green building products. Not only did VAST change the game for aesthetic and durability versus concrete, but because its material is one-third the weight, it's the first company to distribute branded masonry products nationwide.I led VAST from inception through technology development, external financing, national expansion and successful acquisition.My proudest industry recognitions were to be named a “Top 15 Innovator” and a “Top 40 Under 40” by both Minneapolis / St Paul Business Journal and Building Construction Magazine and to receive two Tekne technology awards in the same year (only the second Minnesota company to do so).VAST is currently manufactured and distributed by its parent company AZEK Building Products (azek.com).

Fargo Electronics invented many of the technologies and products used in identity cards. It created a global distribution network, was publicly traded and was acquired by HID Global in 2006 for over $335 million.I was quickly promoted through company management and held top- and bottom-line business unit responsibility. I developed dual-brand product and OEM go-to-market strategies that were key to delivering eight consecutive quarters of record financial performance.

I developed domestic and international distribution, dealer and retail programs and promotions. Products we launched within 18 months delivered over 75% of total revenue.

I created product development strategies that grew gross margins by 100%, cut time to market by 50% and reduced cost-of-quality by over 65%.

I closed large account sales worldwide working with customers such as the Department of Defense, Australian Drivers License and Target.

I designed circuitry and wrote hundreds-of-thousands lines of software to create industry-disrupting identity card production equipment. I was also a key participant in creating a company-wide stage-gate product development process, still in use today on a global scale.
