I worked with Frank for over a year at ATMI. During this time, Frank was always someone you could go to if you needed help on a project or any other work related problems. Frank has extensive knowledge of the manufacturing environment. He was also a vital resource to me when I had any project management questions. Frank is passionate in his work and makes sure everything is done correctly. He was a pleasure to have in the office as a colleague and as a friend.

I worked with Frank for several years at a Manufacturing facility. He led Discrepant Material Reduction team in which Frank and his team made significant results in reducing both internal and supplier related issues. He led a successful DMAIC project focused specifically on physically damage issues. The project ended with positive results and led to some Best Known Methods (BKM’s) implemented across the entire site. Frank has a strong knowledge of machine shop processes and is what I consider a subject matter expert in this arena. I found working with Frank a pleasure and someone that I knew could get the job done with results.
