I started my career in IT, working for nearly two decades on a variety of small and large projects. I was a consultant for most of this time working mainly with Java, C#, Oracle, SQL Server and XML. After IT, I entered the craft malting industry by taking a position at Gambrinus Malting Corporation. This position has allowed me to incorporate my IT experience with managing a food manufacturing company.Over the years I have found both enjoyment and benefit working on various boards ranging from education to health and safety. Community involvement, volunteering, and helping to shape the landscape for our future workforce are passions of mine.Specialties: Malting, Health and Safety, Logistics, Continuous Improvement, Project Management, Governance, Procurement, Strategic Planning, Risk Management, Unemployment, Education, Finance, IT.
