I’m grateful for the team members, mentors, and partners who have shaped my 36+ years in mining, aggregates, and construction—from running equipment and plants to leading multi-site operations and building safety-first, performance-driven cultures. I’m excited to continue serving operators, customers, and communities while helping the next generation of leaders step forward. Here is my biography.
