A passion for providing clients with Engineering and the Design-Build solutions. As Vice President and Client Services Leader I have the primary responsibilities for developing maintaining and growing client relationships for the Industrial Unit of CDM Smith. My career began immediately following High School in 1977 in the consulting engineering field supplying services to the Worlds premier tire and rubber technology suppliers in Akron, Ohio. I received my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Akron while continuing to work full-time for Consulting engineering firms in the Akron area. In 1988 I began work at MK Ferguson (now AECOM) in Cleveland, Ohio as a Sr. Mechanical Engineer. Leading many significant projects for clients including, Boeing 777 Wing Spar Facility, Kellogg Krispix lines, and Philip Morris smokeless tobacco plant. Joined the Louis Perry Group in 1994 as the Mechanical Department manager with the express goal of growing and strengthening that group. Have moved up through the organization in the past 25+ years to the level of VP. In 2015, I assisted with the acquisition of LPG by CDM Smith. Truly enjoy using my years of experience to provide clients with competitive solutions to their manufacturing needs. I also really enjoy mentoring our young engineers to be client focused. In my personal life, have been married 39 years to my lovely wife Ileen. We have two boys, Adam and Andrew. Andrew is special needs with Fragile X syndrome and has blessed us in so many ways and opened our eyes to the community of special needs. For several years we ran the Challenger League base ball organization in our community. Adam has blessed us with a compassionate and kind hearted daughter in-law and three wonderful grandchildren. We stay highly involved in their all of their lives.
