I began my business career with Household Finance, managing Osco Drug stores in Illinois and Indiana. After leaving Household Finance in 1978, I joined Coast to Coast, a predecessor to what today is known as True Value, as a store manager in Ohio. Following 15 years with the company, I was appointed President and CEO in 1993. After leaving Coast to Coast, I served in multiple roles over 18 years at Ace Hardware Corporation, including Director Retail Operations, Western Division, Vice President-Retail Development/Marketing, Vice President-Merchandising, Executive Vice President-Retail, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer. I was named Ace Hardware Corporation President and CEO in April 2005, overseeing 4,400 stores in all 50 states and across 62 countries. I am currently Chairman of the Board of Directors for Ace International holdings and a former Director of Leggett & Platt, a NYSE corporation. A graduate of Southern Illinois University, I serve on the Board of Directors for the Southern Illinois University Foundation and on the University’s Dean’s External Advisory Board for the College of Business.
