Currently I work for AmeriChem Systems, Inc. (ASI) a custom fabrication & automation machine builder. I focus on the dynamic Industrial End User and OEM market. I am in a national role, building ASI's solutions business throughout North America and beyond working with key partners. ASI has developed a growing team of experienced Chemical, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, and System Designers working with Municipal, Industrial, and OEM customers to implement Unique Process & Automation solutions globally. I am a solution provider, helping clients solve their business issues, often to save money and improve their operations. I educate my clients as new technologies in the process & automation field are released. Prior to working at ASI, I spent 12 years in electrical distribution work for both Schneider and Rockwell Distributors (Graybar & Englewood Electric (EESCO) a division of Wesco Distribution). Before entering the manufacturing industry, I worked for Chicago Loop Alliance (CLA) as a Programming Project Coordinator. CLA is a local chamber organization whose mission is to promote the downtown "Loop" neighborhood of Chicago and stimulate growth through a wide range of services and programs. During my two years at CLA I was responsible for many projects and my main project was Pop-Up Art Loop. Pop-Up Art Loop transformed over 20 vacant loop storefronts into temporary art galleries to help beautify the neighborhood, drive foot traffic to the area (16,000 annual visitors), promote discussion about art and highlight all of Chicago's great artists. I am an avid networker who thrives for knowledge of local and international happenings.
