Chief Executive OfficerCosaint Arms Apr 2018 - PresentEast Flat Rock, North Carolina, UsUtilize my experience with premium brands like Benchmade, Benelli and STI to develop a line of production/custom guns focused on the carry market. Benchmade uses state of the art manufacturing capabilities along with world class engineering to produce a custom knife at production volumes and pricing. Benelli's commitment to the same strategy as STI's focus on a flat shooting competition handguns led us to help Cosaint Arms create a gun that is truly a better carry option. -

Chief Executive Officer-(Contract)Microtech Knives Oct 2017 - Apr 2018Mills River, North Carolina, UsMicrotech began as an entrepreneurial effort by Tony & Susan Marfione. They have had many ups and downs. After beginning to build a real brand in cutlery they decided to make a rifle to compete with the Steyr bullpup. That went fairly well until it didn't. They quickly began making knives again and pulled themselves out of a deep hole.My role at Microtech was to help the organization get out of the "entrepreneurial" mode and establish a foundation for real growth. We are happy to say we accomplished the goal. Production was up 20% with 16% less overtime, expediting expenses, and frustration by the team. Sales are also up 24% due to a focused product mix and sales programs that allowed the customers to order what they want versus what the company decided to make. Additional new talent in HR and Finance as well as new supervision in fabrication and assembly improved communication and quality.Helping the owners develop a strategy and then implement it with real results is why I enjoy my role. -
Chief Executive OfficerSti International Aug 2014 - Sep 2017STI produces and sells precision firearm parts and a specialty firearm that dominates the competitive shooting market. Before we arrived, it had entrepreneurial processes and attempted to enter the broader firearms market. This did not go well. As the leader of this niche business, we listened to our board, the employees and the customers to develop a broader market strategy. We added sales representation; developed a structured dealer distribution plan; created new product; introduced Continuous Improvement philosophies to the operation; and presented the premium STI products accordingly on the web and in the literature. The results were fast growth and manufacturing growing pains. Eventually we doubled output while maintaining quality and raising average unit selling price. This produced 100% growth and a brand to be recognized.

PresidentBenchmade Knife Company Jan 2007 - Jul 2011Oregon City, Or, UsAs President I worked closely with the owners and Board of Directors to develop a vision for the company and then implement it with the help of a six person leadership team. The more than 150 who got the job done were all based in a 52,000 sq. ft. office and manufacturing plant in Oregon. Operationally, we constantly worked on our LEAN processes. As a domestic manufacturer of premium cutting tools, we needed to make approximately 80 models, which totaled more than 450 stock keeping units spread over 4 brands. All of these knives were sold through a network of dealers and international importers. Additional duties included overseeing the owner's other investments: Athena Precision Industries (Fabricated Metal Parts), Mentor (Intellectual Property), and Sentinel (Capital Equipment).

Sr. Vice President Of OperationsBenchmade Knife Company Jun 2005 - Dec 2006Oregon City, Or, UsHaving just finished the best year in the company history, we experienced more than a 60% decrease in government purchases. I was asked to lead the operations team as well as the sales and marketing group. We adjusted our workforce, developed a new plant layout to improve flow, and worked diligently on our LEAN processes. This produced excellent results by year-end. The new structure also pulled sales and marketing closer to operations via new monthly management meetings.Adjusted workforce to match the new business. 12% reductionEncouraged Operations staff to develop a production flow that would increase efficiency. This was implemented in the fall of 2005 and allowed the company to go from a year-to-date loss as of June to a 5% profit by year-end.The continued focus on process allowed for a reduction in scrap by more than 45%Communication improved due to weekly and monthly department meetings where operations, sales, and marketing were involved.As we began to focus on all channels of distribution (Military, Commercial, and Export) we saw our commercial and export grow by 5% as the Fed Gov was shrinking. By 2007 were were able to produce the demand of all markets and the business grew by more than 30% that year.

Vice President Sales & MarketingBenchmade Knife Company Oct 1997 - May 2005Oregon City, Or, UsWas brought on by the owner to help brand his company as well as develop the marketing, sales, and distribution strategy.Revenue Increased during this period by:-Developed an E-Commerce platform which encouraged consumers to buy from the company website while supported distribution. This grew from nothing to 14% of the business. The additional benefit was that consumers bought unique products with higher price-points.-Establishing sales policies with associated programs. Dealers, Distributors, Regional Chains. Each was well defined and dealers were the focus.-Hired Rep agencies to cover the country and sell these new programs.-Brought in a creative/marketing talent to help brand the company. He developed an advertising/communication strategy. This gave Benchmade a consistent look and message.-All trade shows we used rented upscale displays to match our brand.-We limited which customers were opened to make sure we did not over commit due to limited production-We developed a larger assortment of commercial products so that the Law Enforcement/Military items did not dominate the mix. This improved our distribution and lowered our risk of legislation restricting our growth.-We developed a network of international partners to increase the business. It went from almost nothing to 7% of the business. When 9-11 happened, we hired a salesperson to focus on military in Nov of 2001. He was a retired Navy SEAL and from the time he started to the peak, we grew our Fed Gov business by more than 45% of the total business. After the peak in 2004, we settled into a very nice 30-40% of annual sales. This growth in military sales was a big help to the growth in commercial products due to war stories of durability.Through product development focused on the market, Benchmade won the Industry's Knife of the Year award 92% of the time it was awarded
