My mission at Burrow’s is to connect people with opportunities. We work with hundreds of small business owners across the country that want a partner instead of just a supplier. As leader of Burrow’s, it is my responsibility to create an environment where everyone thrives. Pushing the company to build stronger bonds by practicing our values is a point of emphasis. We live our core values every day. - Business Strategy - Profit & Loss Ownership- Customer Pricing- Private Equity / Board Presentations- Culture Warrior - Continuous Improvement Guru

I led the supply chain side of the business which included both outbound trucking and all aspects of internal inventory management. Sourcing is secondary to developing relationships with vendors and creating lasting relationships that enable real support when times are tough. Too many purchasing programs focus only on the numbers and beating up vendors. We were able to reduce inventory by 50% and stock-outs by 95% while simultaneously growing relationships that endure to this day. People buy from people and that will never change.

I joined MEI to help the owner grow his oil & gas electrical construction company. During my tenure at MEI we implemented systems and processes to ensure a seamless customer experience as well as smooth out production timing & billing. The processes we put in place allowed tremendous growth with sales jumping more than 200% due to the ability to manage a larger number of crews without issue.
