Since 1979, InPro has been making and servicing products with a paranoid commitment to protecting the safety, healthiness, and appearance of buildings.

I am a forward-thinking, entrepreneurial executive at InPro Corporation with over 36 years in the building products industry sales and manufacturing environment. In my current role, I specialize supplier relations and contract negotiations. I also have developed a supplier council committee with our top 14 suppliers 3-4 times a year. I am very familiar with and very intertwined in our manufacturing area, understanding our Extrusion, Injection Molding, Vacuuming Forming, Sewing, and Solid Surface operations. In Supply Chain, I get involved with many aspects of our business, such as: implementing packaging solutions, world-class service, and lead times from my staff and me. I will also be very influential on lean manufacturing, strategic planning, plant layouts, business process improvements, continuous improvements, and cost reductions, and some areas I'm a part of, along with overseeing companywide safety. I have been instrumental in the growth and profitability of InPro, from a size of 15 employees and a nonmanufacturer to currently 620+ employees and a manufacturer of all major product lines. Being one of 11 Senior Managers at Inpro, I am responsible for a part of the strategic planning process and executing that plan to successfully grow Inpro year over year with 29 straight years of growth in margin and profit. I am a confident, self-assured problem solver capable of taking risky actions and accepting responsibility for the outcome. I enjoy working in a changing environment and am charged with time-sensitive tasks, pressures, and multiple demands. My goal is to continue to grow, learn and build upon my personal and professional experience and be in a company with similar attributes with the ability to gain new experiences and responsibilities. Lastly, I enjoy people and building relations with employees and suppliers. I have an open door policy, and I welcome the conversation or Teams call any time.
