Bio
Amanda Black
Being one of my professional mentors, Chip directly contributed to my career advancement. He has an innate ability to pull cross-functional teams together to work on a common goal, amidst varying priorities. He is always looking for a better way to do things, both within his team and with others. Chip has a knack for understanding the needs of others and works with them to identify solutions that provide the best possible outcomes to ultimately drive success for the company and customer. Chip and I worked on multiple projects together that drove improvements to the processing of engineering design changes, cycle and lead time reductions, and inventory optimization. This all occurred while he grew a team of engineers, designers, and technicians systematically and in manner that each of them mirrored his willingness to assist with a high sense of urgency. It is with Chip’s technical engineering services knowledge, detailed project management experience, and truly levelheaded and authentic nature that make him not only a great colleague and manager, but a lifelong friend.

Chip hired me to work with him at Proserv. Previously having worked with Chip, I knew what skills he brings to an engineering group so I jumped at the chance. Chip is a skilled manager and project planner and knows the importance of prioritizing projects and putting the right people on the right jobs. His respectful and compassionate demeanor toward the people working for him makes Chip a great manager.
