"Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel." Augustus Hare. I am an enthusiastic professional who enjoys leadership, strategic thinking and building organizational capability through identifying and maximizing everyone's God given strengths. My leadership is principle based, targeted to create extraordinary value through truth, courage and belief in a purpose that reaches far beyond our current individual constraints. My development was expanded through two expatriate assignments, one in Japan and one in Canada. During these opportunities, I learned to identify and leverage both cultural similarities and diversity to promote collaboration toward our global objectives. I believe that each of us has a hunger to add value. As we create inspirational vision our behavior is transformed, creating new realities and experiences others once thought impossible. In the course of leading hundreds of culturally diverse people, managing millions of dollars in fixed assets, and achieving benchmark levels of manufacturing excellence, I have found this most noteworthy:"Don't let yesterday use up too much of today. Life begins at the end of our comfort zone. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift." Let's create tomorrow today !
