Responsible for sales and growth strategy, manufacturing process improvement, technology planning.

Responsible for NPD process and product launch. Responsible for implementing a standardization of work flows, quality processes, supply chain management. Acting as liaison between suppliers and engineering.Coordinated the full season launch of the AutoHeader product line. Including a complete re-write of the control algorithm to reduce the number of physical sensors leading to increased deployment time and a decrease in per unit cost of 10%Responsible for the launch and design of the RLRS system which will bring in an estimated sales revenue of $200,000.Designed and developed the ATT communications protocol. Solving this non-trivial problem reignited the product development process, and sped up the development by approximately 6 months.

Developed the new Kingston Unloading Check Valve, designed a developed new inline check valves for custom customer applications, lead and organized efforts to clear backlog of engineering work. Implemented new DCO policies and processes. Designed and implemented new test stands and new test procedures. Designed and built a cycling test stand to cycle check valves.Developed the Buckner / Superior commercial plastic valve. Designed linear control valve for natural gas applications. Kingston Unloading Check Valve: Developed a 1 piece body inline compressor tank check valve with unloading feature that reduced the customers cost by 75% compared to the competitor solution. Most pieces designed to be machined in 1 operation, the body required 3. Leading to a cost reduction of 75%.Leading new product development efforts for Kingston Valves product line including new ASME Section VIII pressure relief valves. Responsible for design, testing, validation, and program management.
