Having been one of the earliest adopters of digital technologies and strategies in the woodworking industry, I recognized the disruptive power of digital transformation. For over 30 years I have dedicated my career to both implementing CNC software and machine technology and driving widespread industry adoption of CNC technology for manufacturers worldwide.I began my journey in manufacturing automation in the early 90’s, pioneering the implementation of nested based manufacturing well before it became standardized best practice in the industry. I successfully steered the production of the first AWI Quality Certified Shop in the state of Tennessee, progressing to being awarded the Commercial Shop of the Year in 1997.Seeing first-hand the immense potential of automation technologies, I decided to join the CABINET VISION team in 2001 to focus on helping other manufacturers implement data driven, results oriented processes to streamline operations and boost productivity.Currently, as the Hexagon Market & Product Manager for Wood, Stone, & Composites, I leverage my real-world knowledge and experience to drive innovation within Hexagon’s product portfolio catering to the Woodwork and Stone markets. With a deep understanding of the customer journey, I am able to synergize industry and customer requirements with the expertise and knowledge of the Hexagon organization to continually deliver best in class solutions that drive the success of tens of thousands of manufacturers worldwide.
